Mainly it was guile's autoconf which was a pain for cross compiling. The other grief is that the windows libraries which use pkg-config don't play well out of the box. I can't recall exactly, but I vaguely remember that the windows version of pkg-config does something strange with paths (fixing them up as it runs), (or are the .pc files fixed up on install?). Certainly I couldn't take the .pc files straight from the GTK downloads and use them without fixing paths inside the files. You also have to ensure you don't inadvertently link against your system native packages. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
