Compiling XPDP1 make error
 

I am unable to solve this issue regarding XGC250

bash-4.1$ make

Welcome to LQ.

-lXGC250 means libXGC250.a , from "xgrafix" >>> xgrafix-2.70.5.tar.gz
http://ptsg.egr.msu.edu/pub/codes/xg...-2.70.5.tar.gz

Build example http://hareesh098.blogspot.dk/2015/0...ubuntu-12.html
... provides /usr/local/lib/libXGC250.a

That's what I originally thought. It did the same with -lm and -ldl.

After fixing those with the appropriate paths (i.e. -L/home/name/xgrafix/lib/libXGC250.a), a tremendous amount of errors throughout the code appeared that were unrecognized statements.

Re #3.

How old is your "XPDP1" ?
This command will show the time stamps in XPDP1* : $ ls -laR

? May be XPDP1 requires an older version of libXGC250.a ?


Any questions ? Then please specify your OS : Name and version.

The example OS, mentioned in post #2 : Ubuntu 12.04 - 64
>>> No xpdp1 issues. See the below text .....

Ref. your thread about Xoopic software from PTSG
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...es-4175553882/
PTSG http://ptsg.egr.msu.edu/

No issues with xpdp1, RHEL/CentOS 6.7 :
$ cd xpdp1/src/
$ make
.. and the new executable 'xpdp1' will replace/overwrite the stock 'xpdp1' executable.
$ ./xpdp1 : OK.
