Thread: [Lcd4linux-devel] what buildsystem to use?

Hi,

is there a linux-live-cd which is able to compile and statically link
lcd4linux for me?

Or would you compile me a serdisplib-enabled lcd4linux binary?

Regards

Stefan

I don't know.

Sure I could do so. But why the heck don't you compile yourself? Do you
need or have a special setup?

bye, Michael

I tried it, but with no luck. It seems that I have to build a
compile-only machine ...

The target-System is libc.so.6 based (eisfair). I own the Pollin hyundai
hp12542r display module kit [1]. And please activate all the plugins.

Thanks

I think you can use a knoppix live-cd as it contains gcc, autoconf and every 
build-dependancy for lcd4linux.

I tried it with knoppix 5 - there is no aclocal-1.9.

I tried it on the developer-server from fli4l/eisfair - there comes this:

make
cd . && aclocal-1.9
/usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of
AM_PATH_LIBMCRYPT
  run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
  or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
configure.in:25: error: Autoconf version 2.59e or higher is required
configure.in:25: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63
aclocal-1.9: autom4te failed with exit status: 63
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 63

Hi Stefan,

> I tried it with knoppix 5 - there is no aclocal-1.9.

which version of aclocal (autoconf) do they use? I suppose lcd4linux
should work with every version of autoconf. Maybe you have to use the
./bootstrap script to get rid of my autoconf stuff (which is in CVS,
too, for people who don't have all the autconf devel stuff installed)

Huh?

Maybe you've got an older version of autoconf. Try to edit configure.in
and change the line

AC_PREREQ(2.59e)

to the version you're using.

Hi,

1st it's now working ...

I'm using

Display HP12542R {
    Driver 'serdisplib'
    Port '0x378'
    Model 'HP12542R'
    Options ''
}

but it seems that

Widget ImageTest {
    class 'Image'
...

doesn't work on that display - correct? Or missed I a compile switch? My
syslog shows

Great! So now you can compile yurself?

Looks like the image driver has been disabled by configure. This happens
if configure cannot find libgd headers and/or libraries...
