Compile Success!! Many thanks to ALL!!! Of course, now I have to figure out how to configure the emulated 5250 terminal to cooperate with our IBM AS400 setup. ;<
----------------------------------------------------------------- For any Newbie following this thread as an example Here's a compilation of what I had to do. . . Obtain the source of the project I wanted to compile. Read the instructions the author included for compilation. Try the instructions and get a slew of compile errors; one of them indicates that I don't have openSSL installed. (Ignore the fact that Apple installs an openSSL variant) Fink install openssl ISSUE the following commands to make the compilation compatible with Fink & MacOSX: setenv CFLAGS "-I/sw/include -no-cpp-precomp" ###you have to put the options in quotes ###because setenv only takes one argument ###and I'm trying to set two setenv LDFLAGS -L/sw/lib ./configure --prefix=/sw make make install Hurrah! the project compiled & installed. Now go try it out. Finally, go read the Fink Packaging Manual and pull all your hair out as you attempt to follow libjpeg package as an example. ;> The "Goat" book covering the GNU AutoBuild tools at http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/ should definitely have a link on the Fink Web Site. _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
