configure problem due to libpng dependency on zlib
Hi, I just tried to build dia 0.9.1 on Solaris 8 and found that configure fails because libpng refers to zlib routines but test programs that link with libpng do not also link with zlib. This manifests as can't find a definition of neither finite nor isinf (sic). The definitions are there, it's the link that's failed. Can some knowledgeable person please investigate?

Yup, the linker on Solaris does not honour transitive dependencies. If libfoo is needed by libbar, then to link baz you can't get away with just providing -lbar like you can on Linux and *BSD. Can some knowledgeable person please investigate? Hmmm... I can't do much right now; but basically you have to tell configure to also supply -lz when checking for libpng. Check the arguments for AC_CHECK_LIB() Bizarrely, at least one place of the configure.in does this: AC_CHECK_LIB(png, png_read_info, ,png_ok=no, -lz -lm) can you check that there is no redundant png test, and that the test which fails indeed stems from this specific AC_CHECK_LIB ? -- Cyrille -- ___ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia

I added the include dir for libpng to CPPFLAGS and that gets around the problem. However, it gave a warning that there was no libart and near the end of the build this is a fatal error, because render_libart.c fails to compile. Don't you think this means that a missing libart should be treated as fatal by configure?

I should also mention that I got a fatal link error saaying that it could find the symbol FT_Get_BDF_Property. Any ideas? Shouldn't configure check for this as well?

That sounds more like you got a wrong version of FreeType2. Noticably, Dia doesn't itself use FT_Get_PDF_Property, so it may be that some other package (Pango, perchance) requires a higher version of FreeType2 than you have, but doesn't check properly for it (FT2 has notoriously poor version handling). -Lars -- Lars Clausen (http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause)| Hrdgrim of Numenor I do not agree with a word that you say, but I | will defend to the death your right to say it. | Where are we going, and --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire | what's with the handbasket? ___ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia

Once I got it built and installed, dia built fine. Doesn't this mean that configure.in needs to be fixed?
