[GRASS-user] Error compiling vdigit support in wxgrass: make cannot find -lgdi

[Martin Landa]

Hi,

2008/4/22, Patton, Eric <epatton at nrcan.gc.ca>:
>  I'm compiling vdigit support in wxpython Grass. I passed the --with-python and --with-wxwidgets flags during configure, with no errors.
>
>  make exits with one error:
>
>  <snip>
>  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdi
>  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
>  make: *** [OBJ.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/_grass6_wxvdigit.so] Error 1
>
>  Does anyone know what library/package name this -lgdi refers to? In Ubuntu Synaptic, the only hit for "gdi" or "python gdi" is a package called python-egenix-mxbeebase, and installing this package doesn't seem to satisfy this dependency, after running make distclean and recompiling.

take a look at gui/wxpython/README

-> 7 - DIGITIZATION TOOL

it is just a link to wxPython extension, still unsolved issue. You
need to create a symlink for now.
