[GnomeMeeting-list] Compilation problems, and questions

["Rasmus (Andreas Rasmussen)" <avatar lysator liu se>]

Hi,

I'm having trouble compiling and installing pwlib/openh323.
---

Installation of pwlib:

./configure --prefix=/pkg/pwlib-1.5.0
make optshared
make install

*error*

That's because the path '/pkg/pwlib-1.5.0' doesn't exist and the
makefile doesn't know how to handle that. Well, some manual mkdir solves
that, but I belive it should be fixed anyway.

Next I looked in the file /pkg/pwlib-1.5.0/bin/ptlib-config and was
surprised to find this:

PWLIBDIR="/tmp/pwlib-1.5.0"

Why is that? I want the library installed _in_ the /pkg/pwlib-1.5.0, and
_not_ in the temporary build-path (which I of course wants to remove as
soon as possible). 
---

Installation of openh323

./configure --prefix=/pkg/openh323-

...
...
checking ptlib.h usability... no
checking ptlib.h presence... no
checking for ptlib.h... no
checking for /include/ptlib... no
checking for /usr/local/include/ptlib.h... no
checking for /root/pwlib/include/ptlib.h... no
Cannot find ptlib - please install and try again
bash-2.05a#

Oh, how can that be? The library is installed, the 'ptlib-config' is
accesible and points to the right path. In spite of that the
configure-script looks in the completly wrong place, and of course
fails.

Let's attempt to tell the stupid script how to do it right! Let's try
something like: --with-ptlib-dir=, but oh, it doesn't exist such an
option.

Why doesn't it use ptlib-config? And how do you suggest I solve this?






Cheers
