Hi all, I have been working with linux and SCO for a number of years and I've never been very good at getting stuff to compile. Situation: I have successfully compiled the GIMP and X for my powerbook. I would like to install fvwm and some other things that require readline or libghttp, but they absolutely refuse to compile.
I did this: fink selfupdate fink update-all Those worked without error. Now for the tricky part: % fink -v install libghttp sudo /sw/bin/fink --verbose install libghttp Reading package info... Information about 755 packages read in 4 seconds. pkg libghttp version ### pkg libghttp version 1.0.9-3 The following package will be installed or updated: libghttp The following additional package will be installed: libghttp-shlibs Do you want to continue? [Y/n] [cut]...... gcc -dynamiclib -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -o .libs/libghttp.1.0.0.dylib ghttp.lo http_date.lo http_hdrs.lo http_req.lo http_resp.lo http_trans.lo http_uri.lo http_base64.lo -L/sw/lib -lc -install_name /sw/lib/libghttp.1.dylib -compatibility_version 2 -current_version 2.0 ld: http_base64.lo literal C string section (__TEXT,__cstring) does not end with a '\0' /usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed make: *** [libghttp.la] Error 1 ### execution of make failed, exit code 2 Failed: compiling libghttp-1.0.9-3 failed Similarly, here's what happens with readline: % fink -v install readline sudo /sw/bin/fink --verbose install readline Reading package info... Information about 755 packages read in 4 seconds. pkg readline version ### pkg readline version 4.2a-5 The following package will be installed or updated: readline [cut]... install -d -m 755 /sw/src/root-readline-shlibs-4.2a-5/sw/lib mv /sw/src/root-readline-4.2a-5/sw/lib/libhistory.4.2.dylib /sw/src/root-readline-shlibs-4.2a-5/sw/lib mv: rename /sw/src/root-readline-4.2a-5/sw/lib/libhistory.4.2.dylib to /sw/src/root-readline-shlibs-4.2a-5/sw/lib/libhistory.4.2.dylib: No such file or directory ### execution of mv failed, exit code 1 Failed: installing readline-shlibs-4.2a-5 failed I don't know a lot about make, but that sorta looks like something I could fix manually. I found binaries for libghttp but couldn't figure out how to make fink recognize them. I know that there is a newer version of readline, but I don't know how to make fink try it either. TIA for anyone with ideas.
