-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I have a problem with the configuration of a Autotools-powered package (in this example Wine 1.0, but I have the same problem with other ones).
My situation is that I cannot be root on my system, and my administrators are a bit slow in answering to software-installation requests (bureaucracy, I suppose), so I have to compile & install some programs as a user. Wine, specifically, can make use of a few libraries that I do not have on my system; one of these is libxml2. So, I compiled and installed libxml2 thusly: libxml2-2.6.32 $ ./configure --prefix=/home/me/usr libxml2-2.6.32 $ make libxml2-2.6.32 $ make install and everything looks just fine. However, when I try to configure Wine, the configure script does not notice the presence of libxml2. [...] checking libxml/parser.h usability... no checking libxml/parser.h presence... no checking for libxml/parser.h... no [...] But, I do have /home/me/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h, and /home/me/usr was indeed specified as a prefix to the configure script. 1) I also do have /home/me/usr/bin in my PATH; maybe there is a similar variable for includes? 2) I also tried with LDFLAGS, as in: wine-1.0 $ LDFLAGS="-L/home/me/usr/lib" ./configure --prefix=/home/me/usr/ but that does not change anything, since LDFLAGS is only for the linker, not for the configure script. So, how do I tell the configure script to look up headers where they are? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! - -Federico -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIW10dBIpu+y7DlLcRAqS7AJ4mprO2ibOlRghGymfXkum9+ePISACeI3HB 0HlqJuV8mAZACC6hPGGPe0U= =fgWi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
