[Freehoo-devel] Checking for readline from configure

[Damir Cosic]

Hi everybody,

I compiled and installed freehoo today, and first want to thank to
everybody involved for such a cool piece of software. There is really no
need for GUI just to be able to chat a bit :-)

I also want to let you know about problems I experienced while running
configure:

        1. It seems that glib >= 2.0 doesn't have glib-config anymore, so I
           downgraded to 1.2.10 and that helped.

        2. Readline library checks are performed without -ltermcap, which
           caused all readline tests to fail. I solved it by adding
           -ltermcap to $LIBS wherever -lreadline is used.

        3. Tests for standard C functions are performed with both readline
           and guile, which is unnecessary, and, in case that your readline
           needs termcap, fatal. Solved it in the same way as 2.

I hope this helps. If you need more details, please CC me, because I am
not on the list. Thanks again and keep up with good work,

Damir Cosic
