Compiling Twin 3.1.0 on Debian 2.0
Hallo, I have compiled and used twin successfully on my older system (Debian 1.3.1) by just following the instructions coming with twin-src.tar.gz. Now I have upgraded my system and the compilation failed. configure; make depends; make results in (the last part of the output): -- gcc -Wall -fwritable-strings -fPIC -I/home/jhspies/twin/3.1.0/include -I/home/jhspies/twin/3.1.0/win -I. -I/usr/X11R6/include -DDEBUG -DTRACE -shared -Wl,-Bsymbolic -L/home/jhspies/twin/3.1.0/win \ -L/home/jhspies/twin/3.1.0/win -o libmmsystem.so MultiMedia.o MMBin.o MCI.o MMIF.o MultiMedia.res.o -ltwin -ldll -lc ld: cannot open -ltwin: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [libmmsystem.so] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jhspies/twin/3.1.0/mmsystem' make: *** [all] Error 2 -- Checking at that stages revealed that there are no *.so files in the ~/twin/3.1.0 tree. Isn't the compilation process supposed to provide libtwin.so? I would appreciate some help.

I've followed the instructions (I'm pretty sure), but I keep getting errors that ldconfig couldn't find libtwin during the make process because it is trying to link with the library. However, I can't link with the library until I create it, and I can't create the library, according to the make file, until I link it. So it appears to me to be a catch-22.

Well, I don't know anything about twin, but usually you do an ar and ranlib as the last step of creating a library. You don't need the library to create the library - thus no catch-22. You're right. I took a closer look at the output. It is trying to create the libtwin.so file and fails. Then it tries to use this file to create some other shared libraries, and these are the errors I had been seeing. Unfortunately, I know nothing about creating shared libraries, and I'm having a hard time finding the problem.

Any help would be appreciated. I built twin a couple of weeks ago and had the same problem you did. I quickly discovered that the library was failing to be built in earlier portions of the make. If memory serves, it was failing to find a necessary library, once I installed that, everything built fine. I might suggest adding something like '21 |tee ../build.log' to the end of the make command. This will log all of the output of the make to build.log one directory higher than the source. (keeps the source from getting cluttered with log files) If the errors don't make sense, I'm sure you can find an interpreter here on the lists.

You can tell they've done lots of work, but it still has some distance to travel. Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Perhaps it's a Windoze term that you link the library, which might be equvivalent to running ar and ranlib in Unix? Does anybody else have any enlightingly comments?
