Re: x5250 0.5.2-pre3 -- LINUX5250

which simply checks for the tn5250_terminal_init() function in the library
lib5250.so as found by ld.  If the linker can't find lib5250 you may need
to either edit /etc/ld.so.conf or set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the
location where you installed lib5250.

I don't have an /etc/ld.so.conf (I'm not running Linux). SettingLD_LIBRARY_PATH did not help. I can, however, do the following:


setenv LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/lib
setenv CFLAGS -I/usr/local/include

Once I've done that, your configure script will find my libraries. BUT,the point behind having a ./configure script is that it'll be able to workon all systems. If you wanted it to only work on Linux, you could simplywrite a Makefile and not bother with all of the auto-configure stuff.

What's why we were using pkg-config. So that we didn't have to manuallytell gtk-5250 and x5250 all of the flags that it needed to compile!


Next problem.  When I try to compile x5250, this is what happens:

I took a look at the first error in this list (line 36 of the utility.hfile) and this is what I find:


#if SIZEOF_SHORT == 2
typedef unsigned short Tn5250Uint16;
typedef signed short Tn5250Sint16;
#elif SIZEOF_INT == 2
typedef unsigned int Tn5250Uint16;
typedef signed int Tn5250Sint16;
#else
   ACK!  Need a 16-bit type!
#endif

the word "ACK!" is on line 36. The problem is that nothing has definedthe SIZEOF_SHORT macro prior to this #include file. When lib5250 isbuilt, there's a file called config.h that has the definition of thismacro in it -- so lib5250 builds without any problems.

However, x5250's config.h doesn't have this macro defined, so it won'tbuild. It's not clear to me whether this belongs in x5250's config.hfile, or if the one from tn5250 should be in /usr/local/include/tn5250 andmade a part of tn5250.h?

The other errors seem to be caused by the same problem -- there's nodefinition for symbols that ARE defined in config.h in the main tn5250branch.

I find myself wanting to blame the main tn5250 build for this error ratherthan x5250, since I'd assume that ANY project that wanted to link withlib5250 would run into these same errors.
