In regard to: [Gimp-developer] Configuring gimp with libpng, libjpeg, ...,...: >I am trying to install gimp on Freebsd 4.4, but I am not having much luck. >I installed the the png, jpeg, and tiff libraries. But configure cannot >seem to find them. png.h, jpeglib.h, and tiffio.h are all in >/usr/local/include. I belive configure only checks /usr/include, but I >don't know how to tell it to look there. The configure script is generated from a source file called `configure.in' (or `configure.ac') by a program called autoconf. Any configure script generated by autoconf uses a number of environment variables to control build behavior. The primary ones you need to be concerned about are: CC - controls the C compiler you wish to use CPPFLAGS - controls any flags you want passed to the C preprocessor CFLAGS - any flags you want passed to the compiler itself. LDFLAGS - any flags you want passed to the linker. Gimp doesn't use them, but there's also CXX - used to select the C++ compiler you wish to use CXXFLAGS - any flags you want passed to the compiler itself. In your case, assuming you're using a Bourne-compatible shell (which would include bash and even `ash') you could do CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib' export CPPFLAGS CFLAGS LDFLAGS and then run the configure script. If you're trying to do this in a directory where you've already tried to configure a package once, be sure you first (before re-running configure) do make distclean or at least rm config.cache config.log config.status HTH.
