Hi! Many thanks for your prompt response. The app I am trying to port is basically a software oscilloscope library `gscope' that was written way back in 2001 - here's the link: http://gscope.sourceforge.net/ As of now, I just (blatantly) substituted gnome-config (and GNOME_CONFIG) with pkg-config (and PKG_CONFIG) throughout the configure script, which gives the following: checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config Package gnomeui was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gnomeui.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gnomeui' found Package gnomeui was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gnomeui.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gnomeui' found So, as per the advice on this link: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2005-July/011663.html I changed gnomeui to libgnomeui-2.0 in the configure script again. This seemed to work, with the above 'No package' warnings vanished.... however, doing `make' is still unsuccessful and gives this error: cd . && /bin/sh ./config.status gscopeconfig.h Usage: ./config.status [--recheck] [--version] [--help] make: *** [stamp-h1] Error 1 Could you please throw some light what should I try, now?
