Yeah. xmlrpc-epi uses libtool, and I didn't even have to think about -fPIC. ^_^ > Anyway, do you have a link to the new package, I'll try to have a deeper > review on this.. http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/openjpeg/ > You may also contact upstream an try to explain them that if they want their > project to be easily portable (think of this mess ported to macosX, sunOS > etc...), they really should consider using a good building system, especially > autoconf which is very well oriented toward portability... They provide a Makefile.osx and a .dsp file. Sadly, the included viewer is currently Windows-only... This isn't too bad, I've fought things harder for -fPIC. (libtool 1.4 used to get this really really badly wrong when building modules. In fact, I never solved that one.) The actual library is so small, it's barely worth autotoolising. Hmm. The Makefile.osx uses libtool... It can't be _that_ easy... -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, B.Sc, LPI, MCSE On-hiatus Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Pobox.Com Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
