xpm installation: imake error

Post by Jason Rotun » Sat, 21 Mar 1998 04:00:00



im new to linux so im having a hard time troubleshooting problems that
i'm running into.  im installing xpm so that i can install xforms so
that i can install xisp.  i downloaded xpm-3.4k-linux.tgz to /usr/src and
gunzip and untar it.  then i goto /usr/src/xpm-3.4k-linux/ and try to run
'xmkmf -a' as instructed by the README file.  anyway, i get the following
error:

imake: -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config
imake: No such file or directory: No description file.  Stop.

i have no clue what to do from here.  i appreciate any help.

thanks,

jason

 
 
 

1. How to make Imake know about the Xpm lib?

Hello everybody

After tweeking some of the Makefiles, I managed to compile
static and dynamic libraries versions of Xpm under Sol 2.5.

Since at our site we prefer to save standard config files
and the complete /usr/local directory [to minimize work at
installation of a new Solaris version], we installed
libXpm.so and libXpm.a in /usr/local/lib and Xpm.h in
/usr/local/include.

In the /usr/local/lib directories are also static and dynamic
versions of an Mpeg library and some other locally build libs.

Now I would like that the Imake produced Makefiles reference
Xpm in the /usr/local tree and that the Makedepend utility
finds xpm.h in /usr/local/include. So, any clues how imake
might mimick this behaviour?

Also, could this be generalized to recognize e.g. the Mpeg library?

Much appreciating any advice or pointers.

cheers,

Phil

2. Question for you all...

3. XMKMF and IMAKE want Imake.tmpl

4. Does a free mail client exist for X?

5. XPM Installation

6. Telnet - linuxconf - characters all over screen

7. imake = Imake.tmpl: No such file or directory

8. Phantom RARP Module (kernel 2.0.36 oversight?)

9. Any successful installation of XPM on Linux

10. How imake looks for Imake.tmpl file ?.

11. Linux Installations & Imake

12. Building error under Workshop5 - Xpm library

13. fvwm95 error wrong XPM size?
