[SOLVED] xphelloworld-1.0.1 Dependacy issue

jmc1987 · 09-24-2010, 03:58 AM

I am using BLFS in Xorg Applications and when it try to run ./configure $XORG_CONFIG i get this error

Quote:

checking for XPXTHELLOWORLD... configure: error: Package requirements (xaw8 xprintutil xt xp) were not met:

No package 'xaw8' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XPXTHELLOWORLD_CFLAGS
and XPXTHELLOWORLD_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Where is the package that contains xaw8?

libxaw is provided by xorg-libraries. Are you sure you aren't using newer release sources for your build? libxaw8.so is not part of the Xorg-lib version used in the BLFS book.

EDIT: My bad, the libXaw version in the BLFS book is the latest. I don't know for sure, but I think libxaw8 has been obsolete for quite some time, and is no longer built when compiling libxaw. This is a list of libraries installed byu libXaw:

Code:

I'll try building the errant package and see if I the error is reproduced.

Sorry, but which package produces the output you mention?

jmc1987 · 09-24-2010, 04:23 AM

Okay I recompiled libXaw and reinstalled and it worked. I may have skipped it. Thanks for your time

corbis_demon · 09-24-2010, 04:30 AM

Ok, nevermind. You are trying to install the Xphelloworld package. But it is not in xorg-apps wget list of the BLFS book. So why are you trying to build it? Of course, you can, but it's an old package and has dependencies that are no longer around. That's why you're getting that error.

Sorry, last post came a bit late.
