Hi Stuart,

Quite a few actually by calling $ ./ltib, but it is failing at glib, in
pkg-config.

ok so I reverted to the version in LTIB, which is 0.21. I can see a glib
copy with it, version 1.2.8.

Yes, and here is a longer part of the message :
(...)
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for extra flags to get ANSI library prototypes... configure:
error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details.

Yes. There is some FIXME labels in it, and there is the variable
'cross_compiling' in there that I have assigned to 'no'. That made it
work, the error is gone. Now there is a different one in the same module,
but it is progressing:)
checking size of char... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (char), 77
See `config.log' for more details.

Got to continue fixing the configure script I guess. Thanks.
Thank you,
Francois
