[mdb-dev] cvs Compile problems, glib2 detection fails

[Dario A. <aba...@si...>]

Hi!

I have trouble compiling the 0.6cvs version of mdbtools:

# ./configure

checking Are we using flex ... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.

I look in config.log and see

configure:9153: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -DSQL    conftest.c   >&5
configure:9163:18: glib.h: No such file or directory

So glib.h is not found. I add the path to the compiler flags (glibconfig.h was
not found as well so I add the second path respectively):

CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/glib-2.0/ -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/" ./configure

Still I get the same error on configure:

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.

Ok, so I look into config.log again and find:

configure:9153: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -DSQL  -I/usr/include/glib-2.0/ -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/  conftest.c   >&5
/tmp/cc0gK6T1.o(.text+0x8): In function `main':
/installs/mdbtools/cvs/configure:9169: undefined reference to `glib_major_version'
/tmp/cc0gK6T1.o(.text+0x17):/installs/mdbtools/cvs/configure:9169: undefined reference to `glib_minor_version'
/tmp/cc0gK6T1.o(.text+0x32):/installs/mdbtools/cvs/configure:9172: undefined reference to `glib_micro_version'

This is where my knowledge ends. What can I do to make mdbtools compile?

Thanks for your time!
Yours,
