-It doesn't appear to work. I've got db3 installed (3.1.17), and
configure/autogen.sh still barfs. I copied the following bit of code
from the end of config.log, added the #warnings and the fprintf, and ran
it:
#if 0
#warning db3/db.h
#include <db3/db.h>
#else
#warning db.h
#include <db.h>
#endif
#include <stdio.h>
int
main (void)
{
int major, minor, patch;
db_version (&major, &minor, &patch);
fprintf(stdout, "%d.%d.%d\n", major, minor, patch);
if (major == 3 &&
minor == 1 &&
patch == 17)
return 0;
else
return 1;
}
Here is the output:
me2v@reliant tmp $ gcc -o conftest conftest.c -L/usr/lib -ldb
conftest.c:5:2: warning: #warning db.h
me2v@reliant tmp $ ./conftest
3.1.17
Evidently, autogen.sh and configure are messed up somewhere in here.
Haven't had time to track it down yet, though...
The above snippet was geneerated from a configure using
--with-db3-includes=/usr/include \
--with-db3-libs=/usr/lib
The tail end of configure says:
checking for libdb3 version 3.1.17... yes
checking for -ldb 3.1.17... no
checking for -ldb3 3.1.17... no
configure: error: Didn't find libdb 3.1.17 libraries. You must have
libdb version 3.1.17 installed to compile evolution
Now, if *I*, a mere mortal, can compile and link a program against
db3-3.1.17, wherefore cannot configure do the same?
