--- Begin Message ---Package: libgdchart-gd2-noxpm-dev Version: 0.11.4-4 Severity: normal Tags: sid patch Hi, I try to compile /usr/share/doc/libgdchart-gd2-noxpm-dev/examples/gdc_samp1.c and whatever I do I get a bunch of unresolved references in libgdc.so. It took me the whole day to figure out what the heck was wrong; it's a strange way in which gdchart defines global variables. I enclose a proposed README.Debian file that would hopefully save other people the trouble I went through. *** README.Debian To compile a program that uses libgdchart in Debian, the following must be true: - One source file of the program must contain the following #includes: #include <gdc.h> #include <gdchart.h> #include <gdcpie.h> The program must include all three header files, even if it does not use gdcpie. - HAVE_LIBFREETYPE must be defined, regardless of whether the program uses libfreetype or not. If either of the above is not true, linking will fail with unresolved symbols. Thus, in order, for example, to get the example program, gdc_samp1.c, to compile, you must add #include <gdcpie.h> in the code, and then run gcc -D HAVE_LIBFREETYPE -o gdc_samp1 gdc_samp1.c -lgdc The reason for this is that certain global variables used by gdchart are defined in the header files, which either declare the globals as "extern", or actually define them, depending on a condition, namely whether GDC_LIB is defined. The shared library installed by Debian has references to many such globals, and these must be defined in the program. Another problem is that if more than one source file includes the header files, the globals will be defined multiple times. You can try specifying #define GDC_LIB before the #includes in all but one source files. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.24-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=el_GR Versions of packages libgdchart-gd2-noxpm-dev depends on: ii libgd-noxpm-dev 1.8.4-36 GD Graphics Library (old version, ii libgdchart-gd2-noxpm 0.11.4-4 Generate graphs using the GD libra -- no debconf information
