Alan thanks for the pointers with cmake. I added the :PATH or FILEPATH
where applicable and that worked in successfully configuring everything.
There were a few random problems but I was able to work my way around them
by disabling certain features. For instance cmake could not find my GD
library even though the path and file I provided was valid. During the
actual make TCL created a compiler error and there was unreferenced symbol
errors which occured in the pdf library. So I simply ignored the GD, TCL
and pdf issue by disabling them or not initializing them. However when I go
to test the examples I am still recieving linker errors. I tried this for
both a static and dynamic build and the same errors are produced. Please
see the error message below.
