Compiling gargoyle under Fedora 13

[Heiko Reese]

Hi folks,

just a short info on how to compile gargoyle under Fedora 13.

Jam produces this error message:

Link build/linux.release/garglk/gargoyle
/usr/bin/ld: build/linux.release/garglk/launchgtk.o: undefined
reference to symbol 'gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder' is defined in
DSO /usr/lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 so try adding it to the linker
command line
/usr/lib64/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid

cc -o build/linux.release/garglk/gargoyle build/linux.release/garglk/
launchgtk.o build/linux.release/garglk/launcher.o build/linux.release/
garglk/libgarglk.so -lz -lm

...failed Link build/linux.release/garglk/gargoyle ...
...failed updating 1 target(s)...

The problem seems to be related to this Fedora feature:

Adding the libraries for gtk (and the related stuff) to the linker
call seems to fix the problem. Here's the patch:

Could anyone not using a redhat-based distribution try this?

Heiko,

My apologies for the long radio silence on this one.

Can you try the attached patch? It uses the pkgconfig mechanism instead, but it should be equivalent to yours.

I've tested under Ubuntu 10.04 and haven't seen any issues. If it works on Fedora as well, we can get it merged in.

Thanks,

Ben

This patch works for me. I had the same issue as Heiko and had
effectively been using his patch, but yours works too.

Great, thanks! I've added the patch to trunk.
