[hylafax-users] Problem compiling HylaFAX+ from source

[<yo.natan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I've spent the last couple of hours trying to compile HylaFAX+ from source on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS (clean install), but I can't get past the ./configure stage due to ZLIB.

This is what I've done:

1. Downloaded libtiff v.3.9.4, Ghostscript 9.00 and HylaFAX+ v5.4.3.

2. Ran tar xzvf for each of the archives from (1).

3. For libtiff I ran: ./configure && make && sudo make install

4. For ghostscript I ran: ./configure && make && sudo make install

So far everything seems fine as far as I can tell. However, when I move on to (5) I run into trouble.

5. For hylafax+: ./configure

This is the complete output:

Configuring HylaFAX (tm) (aka FlexFAX) 5.4.3.

If configure does the wrong thing, check the file config.log for

information that may help you understand what went wrong.

Reading site-wide parameters from ./config.site.

Well I'll be, a i686-pc-linux-gnu system.

Using /usr/bin/gcc for a C compiler (set CC to override).

Looks like /usr/bin/gcc supports the -g option.

Using " -g" for C compiler options.

Looks like /usr/bin/gcc has an ANSI C preprocessor.

... but __ANSI_CPP__ is not automatically defined, will compensate.

Looks like /usr/bin/gcc supports the -M option for generating make dependencies.

Using /usr/bin/g++ for a C++ compiler (set CXX to override).

Looks like /usr/bin/g++ supports the -g option.

Using " -g" for C++ compiler options.

Using /usr/bin/make to configure the software.

Using "include file" syntax for Makefiles.

Looks like make supports "sinclude" for conditional includes.

Using /bin/bash to process command scripts.

Checking for regular _expression_ library support

... found. Using system regular _expression_ support.

Checking for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) support

Looks like -lcrypt is needed for crypt.

Looks like -lutil is needed for wtmp file logging.

Looks like -lm is the library for math functions.

Checking ZLIB support.

Incompatible/missing ZLIB Library.

Compilation or execution of the following test program failed:

----------------------------------------------------------

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <stdio.h>

#include "zlib.h"

main()

{

    if (strcmp(ZLIB_VERSION, "0.95") < 0) {     /* include file version */

        printf("old include files: version %u\n", ZLIB_VERSION);

        exit(-1);

    }

    if (strncmp(zlib_version, ZLIB_VERSION, 4) != 0) {

        printf("library/header file incompatibility: %s %s\n",

        zlib_version, ZLIB_VERSION);

        exit(-1);

    } else {

        exit(0);

    }

}

----------------------------------------------------------

With the following directories tried:

DIRS=<default compiler search path> /usr/local /opt/zlib

The above program checks the version of the ZLIB library to ensure it

is suitable for use with HylaFAX.  HylaFAX 5.4.3 requires a recent

ZLIB software distribution; version 0.95 or newer.  If you have the right

software, verify that you have the ZLIBINC(location of zlib.h) and

LIBZ(location of libz.a/libz.so) configuration parameters set correctly

for your system and that any environment variables are setup that are

needed to locate a libz DSO at runtime (e.g.  LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

Also be sure that any relative pathnames are made relative to the top of

the build area.

Unrecoverable error!  Once you've corrected the problem rerun this script.

I've been trying to find an answer in ghostscript's documentation and online, but I don't know how to proceed. My understanding is that ghostscript's source contains the zlib source and that unless SHARE_ZLIB=0 is changed to "1" zlib will be compiled in the resulting gs executable. Anyway, I'm not sure as all of this is new to me.

Please help. Thanks ;)
