Sometimes I want to install a piece of software not available in ports but I usually do not get far. My "quest" usually ends right at running the configure-script, because it's not able to locate the various libs (png, jpeg, qt, gtk etc. etc.). Sometimes I'm able to parse a --with-missinglib=/where/it/is. But all in all They don't compile/configure out of the box. Is there some tips on how to get non-bsd-aware sources to behave? Presently I'm trying to compile scribus (http://web2.altmuehlnet.de/fschmid/) which fails to locate png, jpeg and qt. I got it to locate jpeg, but png is still in the dark. Qt is a puzzle it accepts --with-qt-includes=/usr/X11R6/includes/qt2 but it still fails to load the libraries. I've tried --with-qt-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib/ and other, but with no luck. Any help tips would be apreciated. Bjarne To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
