Note: this message (with some editing here -hp) was mistakenly posted
on emacs.devel.
setup Solaris OS (openindiana-hipster)
Trying to figure out how to tell configure where to look for gif
libraries by using ./configure --help shows --libdir= so I tried using
that to point /opt/csw/lib:/opt/csw/lib/amd64/
NOTEL I've since learned from a helpful poster that --lib-dir is about
where to put lib files NOT where to find them.
Where things like: libungif.so libgif.so.4.1.7 libgif.so and several
more like those but ./configure ends with:
My ./configure line:
PATH=$PATH ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/src/vcs/git/test
--with-x=yes --with-gif=yes --libdir=/opt/csw/lib:/opt/csw/lib/amd64
--with-imagemagick=yes --with-x-toolkit=athena
(the PATH= stuff was there to cure a problem where ./configure was
finding the wrong (old) verion of makeinfo... the PATH variable seemed
to head it the right way /opt/csw/bin/)
So with that ./configure line, it ends with:
,----
| [...]
| configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
| libgif/libungif
| Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
| If you don't want to link with them give
| --with-gif=no
| as options to configure
`----
Having emacs built with gif or not is really small potatoes, my query
is more to for once and for all... learn how to tell ./configure some
kinds of things.
NOTE: Someone has suggested it be involved with certain CFLAGS
settings or the like.
Anyone who knows something about doeing this on solaris or any one
with an opinion; Some input would be very welcome.
