I'd like to see the filenames that are failing to see if I can find any Makefile issues.
I've heard this type of failure before for OS/2 but never understood how a second run could resolve it. > If I run make again (and again) I get past these errors. > Perhaps a timing issue. > > But the build process get's to an end without further error messages. > > The object files and the libs and the exe files are generated. > But the shared libraries (DLLs) are missing. > Can you verify that the frontends/scanimage.exe is a working program after this? Its good to know that we are generating a good executable and then we can move on to share library issues... From my limited experience, I've always heard the first thing people do is "--disable-shared --enable-static" on OS/2 (no DLL's)... So I suspect your patched libtool was some custom solution that allowed DLL's to be created on OS/2. BTW, I would like to see the output from make when it creates libsane.la. Hopefully, you can email it to me from above request. I want to make sure -no-undefined is there (which is required on Windows and I think OS/2 fore DLL creation to be possible). > I tried the build process with sh configure --prefix=/usr. > Still have to try with '--disable-shared --enable-static' > As long as your getting a working scanimage.exe but without DLL's, then libtool is going to this mode on its own.
