Re: s6-rc compilation issue

This can be fixed be creating a symlink :

ln -s /usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib/s6/libs6.a 
/usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib/libs6.a


 No, this is intentional. The skarnet.org build system installs static
libraries in a subdirectory of $prefix/lib by default, as shown in the
output of ./configure --help.
 If you want to link against them, you need to give appropriate 
--with-lib

options to ./configure. So, in your case:

 For execline, you'd add
 --with-lib=/usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib/skalibs

 For s6, you'd add
 --with-lib=/usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib/skalibs \
 --with-lib=/usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib/execline

 And for s6-rc, you'd add
 --with-lib=/usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib/skalibs \
 --with-lib=/usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib/execline \
 --with-lib=/usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib/s6

 That's impractical, but a clear separation of build-time files and
run-time files is worth the small inconvenience.
 Alternatively, if you don't care about this separation and simply want
everything in /usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib, you can say so at 
installation

time, by giving the following option to every ./configure in the stack:

 --libdir=/usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib

 which will achieve what you're looking for.

s6-rc compilation issue

2017-01-24 Thread Guillaume Perréal 

Hello there,

I have a small issue to compile s6-rc.

I am trying some skarnet tools (execline, s6 and s6-rc). As I want to 
test them and to install and uninstall them easily, I use GNU Stow 
(https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/). I have chosen to install them into 
/usr/local/stow/skarnet.


I have successfully built and installed skalibs, execline and s6 using 
the following commands:


./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/skarnet
make
sudo make install

But when trying to build s6-rc, it gives me this error :

> make
make: *** No rule to make target '-ls6', needed by 
's6-rc-fdholder-filler'.  Stop.


This can be fixed be creating a symlink :

ln -s /usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib/s6/libs6.a 
/usr/local/stow/skarnet/lib/libs6.a

stow -d /usr/local/stow -R skarnet

So I guess there is a lib path missing somewhere, but as I have never 
written any configure script, I am not sure how to fix it. How should it 
be fixed ?


Best regards,
Guillaume Perréal.
