Re: [Plib-devel] plib 1.8.5 won't pass the autoconf phase in UbuntuGutsy

Anton,

	Does the PLIB that you build without the X libraries link
properly with a sample program?  PLIB itself is just a library and
doesn't really need a final link step where everything must be defined;
the real test of when libraries are needed comes in building an
application.

Subject: [Plib-devel] plib 1.8.5 won't pass the autoconf phase in
UbuntuGutsy

Hi there,

I'm having problems to build plib 1.8.5 from sources due to a problem in
autoconf. This is an Ubuntu Gutsy Linux distro with proper Mesa GL and
pthreads installation. This is how the error looks from the outside:

<snip>

The problem in this installation was libxi-dev and libxmu-dev packages
where not installed. But also, by replacing line 279 in config.in
        LIBS="$LIBS $X_PRE_LIBS -lXi -lXmu -lXext -lX11 $X_EXTRA_LIBS
-lm"

to something like this:
        LIBS="$LIBS $X_PRE_LIBS $X_LIBS $X_EXTRA_LIBS -lm"

The compilation went smooth as silk. Maybe those libs are not really
needed?

Kind regards,

Anton
