Description W. Michael Petullo 2007-01-14 21:21:29 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I am trying to compile libgnomeprint on Mac OS X.  ./configure says:

[...]
checking for GP_F... yes
checking for glib-genmarshal... /opt/gtk/bin/glib-genmarshal
configure: error: You need -lm(mathematic library) for this version of libgnomeprint.

I do have libm installed.  If I hardwire "LIBM=-lm" right before "if test "x$LIBM" = "x"; then" in the configure script, then the package configures and compiles.

Steps to reproduce:



Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Well, do you have -lm on your system? This comes with glibc on linux so you probably need the equivalent of glibc-devel.
Comment 2 W. Michael Petullo 2007-07-13 03:13:31 UTC 
I do have Apple's development package, including libm installed.  The configure script is failing to detect libm.  As I mentioned, if I "fool" the configure script into thinking libm exists (it does), then everything builds fine.
Comment 3 W. Michael Petullo 2007-09-20 23:29:00 UTC 
I just tried libgnomeprint from the SVN trunk as of 20 Sep 07.  This tree still has this problem.
