[Refdb-users] Problems Compiling refdb on FreeBSD

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi Jake,

on FreeBSD the expat and libdbi headers end up in /usr/local/include
which is not in the default search path. Setting CFLAGS properly on
the configure command line fixes this problem. This is what I use on
my FreeBSD box (the -g is for debugging, you should not need it):

./configure --with-expat-lib=/usr/local/lib
--with-docbook-xsl=/usr/local/share/xsl/docbook
--with-tei-xsl=/usr/local/share/xsl/tei
--with-classpath-root=/usr/local/share/java/classes
--with-refdb-url=http://tipi.mininet/refdb --with-var-dir=/var/run
--with-log-dir=/var/log --with-db-server=sqlite
CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -g"

regards
Markus
