The other way to do it is to specify CPPFLAGS as a configure argument rather than as an exported environment variable: ../xastir/configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff" (I never do configure in the same directory as the source, so you'll never see "./configure" in my instructions. It is cleaner to use an empty build directory instead.) Doing the configure with CPPFLAGS as one if its command line arguments this way has one advantage --- the CPPFLAGS setting will wind up appearing in the initial comments of config.log. You can then always just look in that file six months after you last configured the code just to remember everything you had to do last time. If you do it with exported environment variables, that information isn't preserved in config.log. > Richard Polivka, N6NKO wrote: > > In the case of my Fedora 8 install, I put in the line > > "-I/usr/include/libgeotiff" to get rid of the same message. > > > > 73 from 807, > > > > Richard, N6NKO > > > > > > Tom Russo wrote: > >> On Fri, Jul 04, 2008 at 11:43:20AM -0400, we recorded a > >> bogon-computron collision of the <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> flavor, > >> containing: > >> > >>> When I build xastir-1.9.3-2008-* on Ubuntu 8.03 the build fails > >>> because it > >>> cannot find the includes for geotiff. > >>> > >>> - ./configure reports that it will use geotiff > >>> > >>> - The compile fails because xtiffio.h and geo_normalize.h cannot be > >>> found > >>> > >>> - If I edit src/Makefile and insert the appropriate includes (i.e., > >>> -I) xastir > >>> builds without error. > >>> > >>> - If I try the correct procedure (as indicated ./configure help info) > >>> > >>> export CPPFLAGS=/usr/include/geotiff > >>> > >> > >> That's not the correct procedure. > >> > >> export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff" is the correct thing. > >> > >> Using what you tried would force invalid arguments into the compilation > >> command line, and result in the error you see. > >> > >> > >>> ./configure --without-ax25 --with-geotiff --without-festival > >>> > >>> ./configure fails very early with the error "configure: error: C > >>> compiler > >>> cannot create executables" > >>> > >>> Is there a better way to tell ./configure the location of the includes? > >>> > >>> Thanks, > >>> > >>> Dick > >>> _______________________________________________ > >>> Xastir mailing list > >>> [email protected] > >>> http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir > >>> > >> > >> > > _______________________________________________ > > Xastir mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir > > > _______________________________________________ > Xastir mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "It's so simple to be wise: just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it." --- Sam Levinson _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
