Is this a bug in the imlib configure file?

more /etc/ld.so.conf

# Begin /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/local/lib
/opt/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/include
# End /etc/ld.so.conf

in the imlib directory, I do the following (first running ldconfig):

./configure --prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include && make && make install

which aborts with:

checking for sys/ipc.h... no
checking for sys/shm.h... no
checking X11/extensions/XShm.h... yes
checking for jpeg_destroy_decompress in -ljpeg... yes
checking for jpeglib.h... no
configure: error: *** JPEG header file not found ***

So with jpeglib.h sitting in both /usr/include and copied just in case to /usr/lib, why can't imlib see it?

Any ideas?

try this

CPPFLAGS=-w ./configure --prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include

I am truly impressed.

Thanks DavidPhillips

PS. What does the preprocessor flag -w mean ? with?

not really sure what it stands for

-w Inhibits all warning messages.
I assume you are compiling with a more recent version of gcc which will give an extra warning message which confuses the configure script. By disabling warning messages it continues without problems.

i am having the same problem.


i tried this

CPPFLAGS=-w ./configure --prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include


but still its not working.



wht might be the problem

This thread is more than two years old. It's unlikely that you're having the same problem. Why don't you start your own thread and give more detail about what you did and what error message you got.
