Re: LDFLAGS or LD_OPTIONS or LDOPTS
%% Tim Freedom [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: tf Whenever I download other packages that require XPM, I never have tf to explicitly set LDFLAGS (SunOS-5.7); in fvwm is has to be set by tf hand. Why is that ? Why is there a distinction and can't tf configure.in (Paul S. :-) be fixed in fvwm ? Yes, it could be fixed in FVWM's configure.in. But, it's difficult to do correctly. Note that just adding -R with the same path is _not_ always what you want, if you have a more complex installation. tf For instance, xscreensaver-3.32 doesn't require this explicit setting tf (www.jwz.org/xscreensaver). JWZ went to horrific amounts of effort to get xscreensaver's configure.in to work the way he wanted. The XEmacs folks also had similar experiences. I'm hoping that autoconf 2.50, just released, will work better in this respect (which is where it _should_ be fixed, rather than in each package's configure.in). At any rate, we will try to revisit this problem when we convert to 2.50, if it's still a problem there. -- --- Paul D.
