Hi, I have been struggling with the configure script for several hours now, but some things do not work as they should suppose to.
My system is Debian testing, avifile fresh from CVS (latest entry ChangeLog is 2002/12/03). The problem is with SDL. I have SDL installed and 'sdl-config' runs properly when run by hand (which means it is in the default search path, /usr/bin in my case). However, the configure script does not seem to pick this program up: checking for sdl-config... (cached) /usr/bin/ checking for SDL - version >= 1.0.0... ./configure: line 1: /usr/bin/: is a directory ./configure: line 1: /usr/bin/: is a directory ./configure: line 1: /usr/bin/: is a directory ./configure: line 1: /usr/bin/: is a directory ./configure: line 1: /usr/bin/: is a directory no *** Could not run SDL 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 SDL was incorrectly installed *** or that you have moved SDL since it was installed. In the latter case, you *** may want to edit the sdl-config script: /usr/bin/ configure: warning: Could not find SDL >= 1.0.0! Even when I force 'SDL_CONFIG=/usr/bin/sdl-config' in the script somewhere the same errors still occur. I have also tried the command line options --with-sdl-prefix and --with-sdl-exec-prefix but they seem to be ignored. The second problem I have is with 'xvid'. Using the command line options '--enable-xvid --with-xvid-prefix=/tmp/xvid_20021228/xvidcore/src' I expected configure to find the stuff there. Unfortunately this is also ignored because 'config.log' tells me: configure:12200: checking for include/xvid.h configure:12236: checking for xvid.h configure:12388: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_REENTRANT -pipe -Wall -Wno-unused conftest.c -lnsl -ldl -lxvidcore 1>&5 configure:12381: xvid.h: No such file or directory I am missing the -I option. If I compile the test script manually with the same options including -I/tmp/xvid... the program compiles without errors. At least, I suppose the -I flag ought to be included. I hope these are easy to fix bugs (if they are bugs at all, or my miuse ;-)). Greetz, Sebastiaan -- English written by Dutch people is easily recognized by the improper use of 'In principle ...' The software box said 'Requires Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux. _______________________________________________ Avifile mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://prak.org/mailman/listinfo/avifile
