[pdf-devel] libcheck prefix question

[Michael V. Antosha]

Hello!

I had a problem (possibly a bug) 'configure'ing GNU PDF.
Initially it looked like this:

   ./configure
   ...
   ...required libraries are too old...
   libcheck (svn required)...

After that I compiled and installed 'libcheck' this way:

   svn co https://check.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/check check
   cd check/trunk
   autoreconf --install
   #export my_libcheck_prefix=/.../... # name of the directory to install 
libcheck to
   ./configure --prefix="$my_libcheck_prefix"
   make
   make install

Then I tried to 'configure' GNU PDF again:

   ./configure --with-libcheck-prefix="$my_libcheck_prefix"

The result was the same.

At last, I tried this, and it works:

   ./configure LDFLAGS=-L"$my_libcheck_prefix"/lib 
--with-libcheck-prefix="$my_libcheck_prefix"

My question: Is it okay that I should specify LDFLAGS environment
variable in addition to 'with-libcheck-prefix' option?
Is it a bug? Or, maybe, I do something wrong?

Thanks,
Michael.
