Building Screen-4.0.2 (and others...) on LFS
Hi, I have recently completed installing my LFS (version 5.0) and decided to add a few programs to it. However, when I downloaded GNU Screen < gnu/software/screen/ (I cannot post an URL due to my post count) > and tried to configure it, the configure script appears unable to find certain required library functions. It finds the header files that these functions appear in, and other programs that use these functions have been able to compile successfully without any changes. Does anybody have any idea what may cause this?
Thank you for your help. I tried the LFS irc, but nobody seemed interested. |
Sorry, forgot to add - I have tried other versions of Screen and they all encounter the same problem, but I am unable to replicate it with other software.

We need more informatio such as all the errors you get. Can you copy&paste that?

I have fixed the problem now, so I do not need any help. I have listed what the problem was and how I solved here though, in case anybody has similar issues.
As a note, I installed PAM and recompiled Shadow from the BLFS book. Basically, as Screen was configuring itself it appears to have attempted to test out some of the shadow libraries. However, even with --enable-pam, it does not appear to link in pam at this point. This causes ld to fail to resolve the pam references within shadow, and the whole program to die. All I needed to do was LDFLAGS="-lpam" while configuring it. It now works fine. |
