espgs + cups on aix

[Warwick Brown]

Hi,

I have been trying to get espgs 8.15.3 working with CUPS on AIX 5.3, but have hit upon a snag when linking against libcupsimage and was wondering whether anyone else had experienced this?

I have looked for similar problems and fixes but to no avail.

While building espgs with '--with-cups' I get the following:

        ./obj/echogs -w ./obj/ldt.tr -n - gcc  -o ./bin/gs
        ./obj/echogs -a ./obj/ldt.tr -n -s ./obj/gs.o -s
        cat ./obj/ld.tr >>./obj/ldt.tr
        ./obj/echogs -a ./obj/ldt.tr -s - -L/opt/cups/1.3svn-r5739/lib -lcupsimage -lcups -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lpthreads -lm -ldl -lm  -liconv  -lm
        if [ x != x ]; then LD_RUN_PATH=; export LD_RUN_PATH; fi;  XCFLAGS= XINCLUDE= XLDFLAGS= XLIBDIRS= XLIBS=  FEATURE_DEVS= DEVICE_DEVS= DEVICE_DEVS1= DEVICE_DEVS2= DEVICE_DEVS3=  DEVICE_DEVS4= DEVICE_DEVS5= DEVICE_DEVS6= DEVICE_DEVS7= DEVICE_DEVS8=  DEVICE_DEVS9= DEVICE_DEVS10= DEVICE_DEVS11= DEVICE_DEVS12=  DEVICE_DEVS13= DEVICE_DEVS14= DEVICE_DEVS15= DEVICE_DEVS16=  DEVICE_DEVS17= DEVICE_DEVS18= DEVICE_DEVS19= DEVICE_DEVS20=  /bin/sh <./obj/ldt.tr
collect2: library libcupsimage not found
make: The error code from the last command is 1.

libcupsimage can be found in /opt/cups/1.3svn-r5739/lib and is symlinked into /usr/bin:

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system      1258435 Jul 20 23:46 /opt/cups/1.3svn-r5739/lib/libcups_s.a

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     system           38 Jul 21 00:30 /usr/lib/libcups_s.a -> /opt/cups/1.3svn-r5739/lib/libcups_s.a

The contents of ldt.tr is as follows:

gcc -o ./bin/gs ./obj/gs.o ./obj/gp_getnv.o \
<very long list of objects>
-ljpeg \
-lpng \
-lz \
 -L/opt/cups/1.3svn-r5739/lib -lcupsimage -lcups -ltiff -ljpeg -lpng -lz -lpthreads -lm -ldl -lm -liconv -lm

My build tools:
# uname -a
AIX joxter 3 5 00C56E5A4C00
# oslevel -r
5300-03
# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.0.0

Any help would be appreciated
