compiling gtk 2.0.5 is an adventure.

[Martin Kestel <mka mppmu mpg de>]

Hi,

after all the (solved! thanks a lot!) trouble with glib on our OSF1 V5.1 732
alpha, compiling pango and atk was no problem. Now, the following appears:

Screen output from ./configure:

checking for TIFFReadScanline in -ltiff... no
checking for TIFFWriteScanline in -ltiff... no
checking for TIFFFlushData in -ltiff34... no
configure: WARNING: *** TIFF plug-in will not be built (TIFF library not
found) ***
configure: error:
*** Checks for TIFF loader failed. You can build without it by passing
*** --without-libtiff to configure but some programs using GTK+ may
*** not work properly


Now, I definitely _have_ installed tiff.h and litiff* etc. (same happens for
the jpeg plug-ins, btw after using the suggested --without-libtiff option).

I add here a config.log snippet:


int
main ()
{
TIFFReadScanline ();
  ;
  return 0;
}
configure:13083: result: no
configure:13196: checking for TIFFWriteScanline in -ltiff
configure:13229: cc -o conftest -g   conftest.c -ltiff -ljpeg -lz -lm   >&5
ld:
Unresolved:
__eprintf
configure:13232: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
#line 13203 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"


I guess, our problem is somewhere in a mismatch of gcc and cc libraries and
includes ---- ?

I am grateful for any kind of advice, as all colleagues whom I have asked for
help have given up.

    Bye,

      Martin
