Compile error

[TWW]

1.2.4 compiled and ran fine. 1.2.5 configures and the build goes well until reaching:

make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/src/celestia-1.2.5/src/celestia'

Then I get the following line and errors

/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=link g++ -O2 -Wall -ffast-math -fexpensive-optimizations -fomit-frame-pointer -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -o celestia celestiacore.o configfile.o destination.o favorites.o imagecapture.o url.o ../celengine/libcelengine.a ../celtxf/libceltxf.a ../cel3ds/libcel3ds.a ../celmath/libcelmath.a ../celutil/libcelutil.a -lpng -ljpeg -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lSM -lICE -lm -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -lGL -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXmu -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm

As you can see from the error I'm using gcc 2.96 on a RedHat system (7.3). Nothing else has given this error and, as I said, 1.2.4 compiled fine.

I've tried different options (and none at all) to configure and it makes no difference. Any ideas, anyone?

gtkmain.o is missing from the command, so obviously the linker can't find main().

What configure options did you use? Did you explicitly specify --with-gtk?

What configure options did you use? Did you explicitly specify --with-gtk?

When I do that I get

checking for gnome-config... no
checking for gnomeConf.sh file in /usr/local/lib... not found

Which isn't surprising since I don't have KDE/Gnome installed. Is there no way to install without one of these bloatware packages? I have QT and Gtk insalled, including the headers.

I'm getting a similiar, if not the same problem trying to compile on my Slackware 9 beta system:

./configure --prefix=/usr

make[4]: *** [celestia] Error 1

I'm using gcc-3.2.1, glib-1.2.10, glibc-2.3.1, and kernel 2.4.20.

Any suggestions?

This is again problem on celestia side. Celestia has 4 frontends Windows, KDE, GTK and GLUT. GLUT is probably "menu-on-screen". Anyway if want to install with GLUT, there is a problem. When specifying
./configure --without-gtk and you have installed Qt, it will try to install KDE frontend even if youhave no KDE. Moreover
./configure --without-gtk --without-kde should lead to GLUT frontend, but it is not true. there is a file glutmain.cpp, which has its main method, but Makefile wont proccess it, thus celestia won't compile.

Another problem is with gtkglarea. I have compiled it under Gtk 2, thus it creates libgtql-2.so. Because check for -lgtkgl is hardcoded and not done interactively, celestia can't go on with gtk frontend(I need -lgtkgl-2 instead). Any solution for this?

You are right. I got a successful build by specifying --without-gtk. This built the KDE interface. It's nice to have a functioning version of it again.
