Re: [libextractor] Problem compiling libextractor with shared '-lgobject-2.0'

[Christian Grothoff]

It works here without the static glib using --disable-glib.  I suspect that 
patching the 0.5.2 release with the makefile that I sent to the mailinglist 
somehow failed on your machine.  Can you try to compile the code from 
subversion?  Just install svn and the autotools, and then run this:

$ svn checkout https://gnunet.org/svn/Extractor
$ cd Extractor
$ . bootstrap
$ ./configure --disable-glib --prefix=/tmp
$ make
$ make install

This should really work.  If not, please pipe the output of configure+make 
into a file and send it to me!

Thanks!

Christian
