[Nel] NeL compilation issues on nelns and snowballs2

[David MENTRE]

Hello all,

Today (saturday 2002-03-23), I wanted to test the latest NeL and
snowballs. Unfortunatly, both nelns and snowballs2 compilation failed
(some symbols are not found at linking step).Is something missing in the
public CVS tree? In my opinion, it looks more as a configure issue.  I
had no issues to compile nel itself however. And once compiled, nel has
been correctly installed in the corresponding directory.


The commands I have used:
  514  cd nel
  517  ./configure --with-stlport=/usr/local/Installed/STLport4.5/ 
--enable-sound --enable-ai --with-openal=/usr/local/Installed/OpenAL-1.0/ 
--prefix=/usr/local/Installed/NeL
  518  nice make
         [ wait few hours on my Celeron/500 :-) ]
  519  make install

  520  cd ../nelns
  522  ./configure --with-stlport=/usr/local/Installed/STLport4.5 
--with-nel=/usr/local/Installed/NeL --prefix=/usr/local/Installed/NeL
  523  time nice make
         [ compilation fails ]

  526  cd ../snowballs2
  528  ./configure --with-stlport=/usr/local/Installed/STLport4.5 
--with-nel=/usr/local/Installed/NeL 
--with-openal=/usr/local/Installed/OpenAL-1.0 --prefix=/usr/local/Installed/NeL
  529  time nice make
         [ compilation fails ]


My config: STLPort4.5, Gnu/Linux Debian 3.0 (woody), XFree 4.1.0 with
           corresponding Mesa, gcc 2.95.4.

One last though: maybe nelns and snowballs expect to have nel compiled
with debug options? Anyway, even in that case it would be a configure
issue.

Best regards,
d.

[ and so on for nearly all NeL symbols I think. ]
