Hi, I am trying to compile a CVS version of the gnome tree for development alongside my Debian copy. I want to install the tree in /opt I have set these environment variables: BASE="/opt" GCCOPTS="-g" export CC="gcc $GCCOPTS" export CXX="g++ $GCCOPTS" export PATH="$BASE/bin:$PATH" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$BASE/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" export LDFLAGS="-L$BASE/lib $LDFLAGS" export LD_WARN=yes export LIBS="-L$BASE/lib $LIBS" export CPPFLAGS="-I$BASE/include $CPPFLAGS" export CFLAGS="-I$BASE/include $CFLAGS" export CXXFLAGS="-I$BASE/include $CXXFLAGS" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$BASE/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" export LIBS="-L$BASE/lib $LIBS" For the glib, atk and pango modules this has worked. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt --enable-gtk-doc; make; make install; When doing the same for gtk+ there is a linking error: /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -I/opt/include -Wall -L/opt/lib -o gtk-query-immodules-2.0 queryimmodules.o libgtk-x11-2.0.la ../gdk-pixbuf/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la ../gdk/libgdk-x11-2.0.la -L/opt/lib -L/opt/lib gcc -g -I/opt/include -Wall -o .libs/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 queryimmodules.o -L/opt/lib ./.libs/libgtk-x11-2.0.so /home/adam/devel/cvs/gtk+/gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so -L/usr/X11R6/lib /opt/lib/libatk-1.0.so /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so ../gdk-pixbuf/.libs/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so -lXinerama -lXext /usr/lib/libXft.so /usr/lib/libfreetype.so -lz /usr/lib/libXrender.so -lfontconfig -lX11 /opt/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so /opt/lib/libpangox-1.0.so /opt/lib/libpango-1.0.so /home/adam/devel/cvs/gtk+/gdk-pixbuf/.libs/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so /opt/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl /opt/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /opt/lib/libglib-2.0.so -lm -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/opt/lib /home/adam/devel/cvs/gtk+/gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_unsetenv' ./.libs/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_completion_complete_utf8' ./.libs/libgtk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_markup_vprintf_escaped' /opt/lib/libpango-1.0.so: undefined reference to `g_unichar_get_mirror_char' In this command there are both my debian glib libraries (/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so) and the new CVS libraries (/opt/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so -ldl /opt/lib/libgobject-2.0.so /opt/lib/libglib-2.0.so). If i remove the debian libraries and run this command it compiles fine - but since i there are a load of modules to compile this wont do. Any help apreciated, cheers Adam _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
