glib 1.2.10

[psyba]

While trying to compile GAIM, I needed to get GTK and Glib, but the ones here aren't really working for me... So i am trying to compile the latest builds myself. I get GTK to compile fine if I skip the glib test with the glib binary here, but I get some error about -ldl that installs with glib? when trying to compile GAIM and with GTK with the glib test? Anyways, i get this error when I 'make' glib:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font><HR><pre> /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=g_log_domain_glib -g -O2 -Wall -c giounix.c

gah, damn back button, sorry, i just saw the 1.2.10 glib here, but still... how did you get it to compile, or what is up with that error?

Delete config.cache then whenever you configure it use this:

setenv CFLAGS -no-cpp-precomp ; ./configure

If you use that it will configure, make, then install fine. I like using the setenv better than editing each makefile and changing the cflags. Sometimes makefiles don't even have the spot for cflags so you have to configure it the way I showed above.
