[solved] ld error - in building mtPaint on Puppy 3.01

[Dingo]

Woof Woof

Dear Puppians, last days I Built successfully mtPaint 3.34.56
- http://github.com/wjaguar/mtPaint/tree/master

in Puppy 4.3.1

as happy Puppy 3.01 user, I then started to compile for this version, but when I invoke make, this error is returned to me:

/mnt/devx_301.sfs/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.1.2/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11

but libX11.so esists in /usr/X11R6/lib/ and, in configure, this path it is present

I attach the full log zipped

note: I'm compiling from LIVE CD using very good sfs linker by jrb (not tried the 1.9 version, I used the 1.8), I don't know if this can be the origin of problem (since sfs linker works very fine with devx 431

Dingo,

I would guess that it's a link problem because in pup 431 this file already exists in the base sfs

/usr/X11R7/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0

It probably just needs a link to /lib/libX11.so

Cheers,

Hi Dingo, Don't have time to look at it right now, but I suspect that the ldconfig contained in /sbin in SFS_TCZ-Linker is incompatible with 301. I will have some time on Thursday and will try building SFS-Linker with the ldconfig from devx-301.

Here's one compiled on 2.14X and should work fine on 3 series since its the same GlibC.

If you are still interested in doing a native compile try adding -CFLAGS=" ..your_compiler_flags.. -I/usr/X11R6/include " \
LDFLAGS=" -Wl,your,linker,flags,here -L/usr/X11R6/lib " \
./configure --your-config-options-here

This is the normal way of doing it, but if I recall mtpaint uses a different configure method and produces a build config file (I forget the name) you can just add -L/usr/X11R6/lib and -I/usr/X11R6/include in there.

using devx module in a frugal install (with sfs-linker by jrb) solves the problem ( I was using devx with sfs-linker from live cd when I had the problem)
