[9fans] Help! Compiling sam on Linux running IceWM

[Matt Senecal]

I need help from those of you who have compiled sam on Linux. I'm
trying to, and it's not working properly. I downloaded the sam source
code and Linux make script from:

   http://home.fr.inter.net/boyd/code/repo/

When compiling everything goes ok until it starts linking:

cc -o samterm.o main.o <<MORE .o's HERE>> unix.o
../libframe/libframe.a ../libXg/libXg.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a

I start getting errors like:

/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a (Shell.o): In function 'StopManagingSession':
Shell.o(.text+0x2f9a): undefined reference to 'SmcCloseConnection'

Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm running Red Hat 7.2 using
IceWm. P166MMX, 32MB RAM, 2GB HD, laptop.

Thanks!

Look's like you didn't:

    cp Make.linux Makefile

in each of the directories.

You need:

    XLIBS=/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.a \
          /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.a

And that's straight from libXg/Make.linux

The stuff that's missing is in the last two libraries.

Actually, I did.

I've got the first two, I'll double-check the last two.

Thanks!

I did a quick nm, before my first post, and that junk you need
is in the last two.  Give me the Plan 9 C compiler/loader anyday.

How would that help if one omitted the libraries?

1) I did the nm to be sure, before posting [on linux].

2) #pragma lib removes the need for specifying libraries on Plan 9:

    http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/comp.html

    The loader is an integral part of the compilation process.
    Each library header file contains a #pragma that tells the
    loader the name of the associated archive; it is not necessary
    to tell the loader which libraries a program uses.
