Re: [Perfparse-users] Tip for installing PP 0.100.7 on Fedora Core 2

[Yves M. <yme...@li...>]

Hi Nick,

Well, sorry for answering so late...
Yes, this is a bug.
In fact, gd provides some gdlib-config script to get the flags and libs t=
o use to link
against gdlib. But 0.100.7 and previous version, and 0.101.1 too, don't u=
se that but do
it "by hand". This is why some may have to specify something about iconv =
and why you
have problems with png.

In 0.102 versions (starting at 0.102.0ym7 on my unofficial web page
http://pagesperso.laposte.net/ymettier/perfparse-devel/), this is fixed, =
and perfparse
uses gdlib-config.

This was tested with libgd 2.0.
If you have an older version of libgd, please upgrade. If not possible, y=
ou will have to
specify the options yourself when running make :
make CFLAGS=3D"-I/path/to/gd/lib" LDFLAGS=3D"-L/path/to/libraries -lpng -=
liconv ..."

Thanks Nick for reporting this bug, and again, sorry to answer so late
