x86 binary of Quadra

[Maurizio]

Hi all,

I am a fan of quadra. Unfortunately, I've updated my linux
distribution and now I am not able to compile it anymore (a lot of
problems during compilation). I would be very grateful if someone
could provide me a binary statically linked version of quadra.

Thanks in advance,

Maurizio

You're trying to compile 1.1.8, right? I don't have binaries handy,
and generating them is somewhat tricky, depending on your
distribution, but you could try out the latest release candidate for
1.2.0, which fixes those compilation problems:

If you are familiar with Subversion, you could also get the new SDL
version, which is still in development, but work fairly well at the
moment:

Let us know if you have any problem!

Dear Pierre,

Much thanks for your reply. I've just tried to compile
quadra-1.2.0rc5.tar.gz but when I run configure I get the following
message:

configure: WARNING: X11 is required and could not be found!
configure: error: Required dependencies missing.

(If you want I can provide the complete outputs)

Please note that I've installed libx11-dev.

Do you have any idea about the problem?

Regards,

Maurizio

That version of Quadra also uses libxpm, so you will need libxpm-dev
installed (that's the package name for Ubuntu, in any case, what is
needed is /usr/include/X11/xpm.h and its accompanying library).

If that doesn't work, then I'll need the full output of the configure
script to figure out what's going on...

I confirm that I've already installed libxpm-dev so the problem is not
related to them. Here is the output of configure

Solved!

I've installed libxext-dev and now it works!

Ah, indeed! There was the culprit:

checking for XShmAttach in -lXext... no

checking for X11/extensions/XShm.h... no

Glad you could get it working!
