Re: [Bug-xnee] Problems Compiling Xnee v3.03

[Han Loo]

Thanks for your previous response.

With the latest dist (20090530) I am still unable to build xnee.

My installation procedure is the same as detailed in my last email. I have also attached all of the output (stdout & stderr from each respective command) to this response although I suspect the relevant output (from make-xnee-cvs-20090530.out)) is specifically:

gcc -I../include -I/include -g -g -O2 -shared -o libtest libtest.o 
-L/home/hloo/Desktop/INBOX/xnee-latest/xnee-cvs-20090530/libxnee/src/.libs
-L/src
/home/hloo/Desktop/INBOX/xnee-latest/xnee-cvs-20090530/libxnee/src/.libs/libxnee.a
-lX11 -lXtst  
/usr/bin/ld: libtest.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol'
can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
libtest.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libtest] Error 1

Is there an option that I need to specify in the makefile... is this problem specific to my version of Ubuntu (8.10, AMD64)?

Thanks!
Han

hi

Change the line libxnee/src/feedback.c line 273 to:


  va_list ap;


It's done (now) in CVS. A nightly dist (with some other fixes) will be available in a couple of hours here:

Greetings,

I am attempting to build the latest release of xnee (v3.03) on an AMD64 X2
4600+ processor running Ubuntu v8.10.

I was previously able to successfully install xnee v3.02 by executing the
following commands as per the installation instructions & readme's:
*
./configure --enable-gnome-applet --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install*

... and I was also able to uninstall v3.02 using:

*sudo make uninstall*

I uninstalled v3.02 in order to update to v3.03 however when I attempt to
install this latest version using the same sequence of commands (as I used
for the previous version) I get the following configuration:
*

...and thus cannot successfully execute a "sudo make install".

Any help would be much appreciated...

Thanks!
