# To subscribers of the xforms list from "Dimitris Tsagatakis" <dtsagas@otenet.gr> :
Hi,
I am trying to compile xforms (latest version) on my system (Linux From
Scratch).
During the "make demo" process all I get is lines like these:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/xforms/DEMOS'
gcc -c -O2 -fPIC -I../FORMS -I../xpm-3.4k -I/usr/X11R6/include -I../../jpeg

gcc -O2 -s freedraw.o -o
freedraw -L../FORMS -lforms -L../../jpeg-6b/ -ljpeg -L../xpm-3.4k/lib -lXp
m -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lm
../FORMS/libforms.so: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libc.so.5, needed by ../FORMS/libforms.so, not found
(try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
../FORMS/libforms.so: undefined reference to `_xstat'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: [demo] Error 1 (ignored)
.....................
The process ends with these lines:
make[1]: [newbutton] Error 1 (ignored)
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xforms/DEMOS'
I noticed the warning about libc.so.5. I couldn't find this file,
and I tried "ln -s /lib/libc.so.6 /libc.so.5" (maybe it's a stupid
thought, I don't know). Then the libc.so.5 warning stopped appearing
but the rest of the compile-problems remained.
Could you help please?
Jim, Greece.
