Hi,

I'm trying to crate a .pet for avidemux-2.5.3 in Quirky-110, and it almost compiles -- but it stops close to the end like this:

Code: Select all

Does anyone have a hint how to solve this? Is it because it "cannot find -lX11"? But the X11 libs are in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so what can I do?

Do you have /usr/X11R7/lib/libX11.so? If not, try making a symlink for it. If you do, try symlinking it to /usr/lib, as there may be some source file, or makefile, looking for it in /usr/lib. I've had the same prob many times & usually resolve it as above.

Thanks a lot muggins! This did the trick, I only had to create the symlinks /usr/lib/{libX11.so,libXext.so}

Next problem is that "new2dir make install" only creates an empty avidemux_2.5.3-i486 directory ... the application installs fine, but I cannot create a .pet so far...

Try instead of new2dir this:

Code: Select all

make install DESTDIR=/some-directory

You will then need to trim the fat and strip the bins manually.

Cheers

Thank you 01micko! I should have thought of it myself, but I was too busy getting to know the puppy-specific packaging tools... Anyway, setting the DESTDIR (or the prefix) works like a charm!
