To subscribers of the xforms list from Christian Gau <Christian.Gau@majestix.rhein-main.de> :

Hello everybody,

since I started to use xforms two weeks ago or so - just because I want
to use a XFMail which is based on it - I am certainly a Newbie. Therfore
I apology for any repitition of a question that has been answered a
thousand times before.

Unfortunetely my problems started at the very beginning - during
compiling:

First thing first: I am using Linux 2.0.29 (SuSE Distribution 4.4),
XFree86 3.2 (xpm-library is updated to 3.4j) with a P100. I downloaded
bxforms-086.tgz from einstein.phys.uwm.edu/pub/xforms/linux/elf (elf
filesystem is of course compiled in the kernel) and treid to make the
demos - just to find out if everything is allright. The result looks
like this:

---
asterix:/usr/src/xforms # make
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xforms/DEMOS'
gcc -c -O -fPIC -I../FORMS -I/usr/X11R6/include -Ifd demo.c

I assume that these "undefined reference to" indicate that something went wrong. Compiling the XFMail-Sources produces similar results. Of course I have got a lot more error logging with other undefined references. What do I have to do?

Thanks in advance for every hint.
