However, I have two applications that I am puzzled with trying to compile. The first application in question is xvscan 1.41 for Linux 2.x. When I execute the make command in it's source code root directory, it will almost completely compile until it gets to a specific routine, then it complains about "sys_errlist" not found. The following is the compile results when it gets to the specific section of code: # make make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/xvscan/xvscan-1.41-src' ( cd scan ; make CC='gcc' ) make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/xvscan/xvscan-1.41-src/scan' make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/xvscan/xvscan-1.41-src/scan' gcc -c -o xvscan.od -g -DDODEBUG -O2 -m486 -fomit-frame-pointer -I.. -I/usr/X11R6/include -DLINUX -DSCAN -DUSLEEP -DDOPDS -DDOJPEG -DDOTIFF -DDOPNG -I/usr/include/linux/../scsi xvscan.c In file included from xvscan.c:18: /xv.h:120: conflicting types for `sys_errlist' /usr/include/stdio.h:221: previous declaration of `sys_errlist' make[3]: *** [xvscan.od] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xvscan/xvscan-1.41-src/scan' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xvscan/xvscan-1.41-src/scan' make[1]: *** [scan/xvscan.opt.a] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xvscan/xvscan-1.41-src' make: *** [all] Error 2 I have no clue to where the "sys_errlist" function is in glibc. Is there a listing of the glibc functions that I can get to reffer to somewhere? The next application in question is sane-0.65. I am able to do a ./configure and a make in it's source code root directory but not make install. The following is what is displayed when I execute make install: # make install for subdir in lib sanei backend frontend doc; do \ target=`echo install-recursive | sed s/-recursive//`; \ echo making $target in $subdir; \ (cd $subdir && make $target) \ || case "" in *k*) fail=yes;; *) exit 1;; esac; \ done && test -z "$fail" making install in lib make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/sane-0.65/lib' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/sane-0.65/lib' making install in sanei make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/sane-0.65/sanei' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `install'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/sane-0.65/sanei' making install in backend make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/sane-0.65/backend' /mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib /usr/local/etc/sane.d installing libsane-epson.la in /usr/local/lib... /usr/bin/install -c .libs/libsane-epson.so.0.0.65 /usr/local/lib/libsane-epson.so.0.0.65 rm -f /usr/local/lib/libsane-epson.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libsane-epson.so (cd /usr/local/lib && ln -s libsane-epson.so.0.0.65 libsane-epson.so.0) (cd /usr/local/lib && ln -s libsane-epson.so.0.0.65 libsane-epson.so) /usr/bin/install -c libsane-epson.la /usr/local/lib/libsane-epson.la /usr/bin/install -c .libs/libsane-epson.a /usr/local/lib/libsane-epson.a chmod 644 /usr/local/lib/libsane-epson.a ranlib /usr/local/lib/libsane-epson.a PATH=$PATH:/sbin ldconfig -n /usr/local/lib To link against installed libraries in LIBDIR, users may have to: -
