I keep trying to rebuild a particular piece of software (wdm, to
be exact), and the configure script is barfing horribly; specifically,
it's not finding libraries that it should be, and it is not able to
find references it should be finding.
I had to rewrite the configure script to make sure that
-I/usr/X11/include -I/usr/local/include were specified before it
tested for headers, but that seems to work just fine.
I am using -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/X11/lib before referencing any
shared libraries, and several of the shared libraries are referencing
points in other shared libraries but they are not resolving.
Is there a -R (or other) option I need to be using at this juncture?
I could send everything out, but I don't think it would be all that
helpful. Suffice to say that
cc file.c -L... -R... -llib1 -llib2 .. -llibN
does not seem to be working.
The libraries which are being loaded are all shared, and the errors
are link-time, not run-time.
I will gladly provide specific information on request; bombarding with
the entire output PLUS the configure file was, I figure, the wrong thing
to do (the configure file is over 3000 lines).
Anyone else out there use wdm for an X-oriented login screen?
