Today I started compiling Cinelerra from a clean chroot on my Core Duo laptop running Debian Etch for AMD64. I wanted to isolate the dependencies and the quirks, hence the chroot, built with debootstrap.
One very obvious omission: the build scripts don't check if g++ is installed. Quite easy to miss without a clean build environment, for sure. Also easy to fix. :-) A trickier annoyance: The "-fPIC" thing. Some architectures need it, others can not work with it (as far as I know). It would be nice to have rules that enabled/disabled PIC according to the host architecture. I'm sure others can come up with configure quirks that have bitten them. These two were just _my_ biggest annoyances today. ;-) -- Herman Robak _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
