[Nut-upsdev] GD libraries and $PREFIX (was Re: building NUT on Mac OS X Yosemite(website/documentation))

[simon-alioth at eazimail.com]

Hi Charles,

Typo on my part (copy pasting diff scripts). 

I tried building libGD in the following directory (sPREFIX is an env name I
use in scripts):
 	sPREFIX=${PWD}/../build/usr

This works, all files in the correct directory.

Next I try building NUT with the following params:

 	sPREFIX=${PWD}/../build/usr
 	configure \
 		--with-gd-includes="-I${sPREFIX}/include/libgd" \
 		--with-gd-libs="-L${sPREFIX}/lib64" \
 		......

This fails to locate LibGD and aborts.

If I build libGD using "sPREFIX=${PWD}/../build" and include this in the NUT
build 

 		--with-gd-includes="-I${sPREFIX}/include/libgd" \
 		--with-gd-libs="-L${sPREFIX}/lib64" \
 		......

This works. It did this consistently across several openSUSE platforms.

This is a minor annoyance as normally all of the working libs are in
/usr/lib|lib64, not /lib. 


Thanks,

Simon

Can you elaborate on how you are using PREFIX versus sPREFIX?
