[hpoj-devel] ld 2.11 problem with Sane and ptal?

[Aaron B. <aa...@os...>]

Howdy.  I checked the list archive and didn't spot anything, so I'll ask:

Is there a problem with SANE's configure script, PTAL and the newest
Binutils?

I'm trying to get SANE & PTAL going on a Debian Sid system with Kernel
2.4.2-ac20 so I can make a JetDirect-connected G95 work.  hpoj-0.7 and -cvs
both build as nicely as can be expected on a 2.4 system, and ptal-connect
hpjd:g95 -scan works fine with either.  Make install put the ptal libs and
ptal.h in their proper locations under /usr/local.

But when I run configure on SANE-1.0.4, -1.0.3+hpoj-patch or -cvs, I
invariably get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lptal" in config.log, and the HP
backend sez that PTAL support's not compiled-in.  Various combinations of
--prefix, --include, --lib or --with-ptal don't help.

My only guess is that it's the ld -l -> --l change in binutils that
recently made it difficult to compile the kernel on Debian Sid systems. 
But --with-gnu-ld didn't help.  Substituting --lptal for -lptal in
configure just got me a "cannot find -flptal".

Thanks in advance,

Make sure that  /usr/local/lib  is listed in  /etc/ld.so.conf  (and call
ldconfig ofter adding it)
or
add it to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH envirnoment variable.

Sorry, I should've mentioned that I did that.
I just tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well, then ./configure both with and
without --with_gnu_ld.  No dice.

Same here.  I'm not sure that I get the exact same error though, it has
been a week or so since I've had time to work on it.  And I also have
/usr/local/lib in ld.so.conf.  I'm using Debian Sid.

O.K. In this case you have to look carefully in the config.log file why
the configure script didn't find the ptal-includes or ptal-library.
There should be some test program and the output of the respective
compiler call in it. And the last one should tell you what went wrong.
Maybe the include file ptal.h was not found, because /usr/local/include
was not searched for it. In that case try

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure

Good luck!
