OpenBSD developers expect you to read. But as a newbie coming from Linux, you often don't know where to start. Some hints to help you get your homework done: you go read: man gcc-local first item under DESCRIPTION has an answer to your question. Then you read the FAQ, especially the section about ports and packages here: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html and the content of the pages linked from there. Then you read: - man make - man bsd.port.mk - the Makefiles of the currently available qt and kde ports - the output of ./configure --help of the particular package. - the output of make show=CONFIGURE_ARGS make show=CONFIGURE_ENV in the directories of the respective currently available qt and kde ports to find out about the environment and flags passed to configure. And perhaps a bunch of other make show=BLABLA commands... > I know there's a /etc/ld.so.conf (in linux) which control the ldconfig > to cache the dyn-lib search path when doing some ld operation during > building. But I can't find it now. I wonder how the OpenBSD control > its ld search path, by LD_LIBRARY_PATH? ldconfig is used for ld.so, the runtime linker. You have a problem at compile time. The compile time linker is called ld. Try to understand the difference by reading the manpages. Regards, Daniel
