[RedHat 9]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.20-6 #1 Thu Feb 27 10:06:59 EST 2003
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

../configure seems to go well.

Configuration (gphoto2):

Source code location: .
Compiler: gcc

Configuration support: yes
Preview support: yes
JPEG support: yes
pkg-config: yes
EXIF support: no
(http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/libexif)
readline support: yes (requires explicit -lncurses)
pthread support: yes (-lpthread)
popt support: yes

make does not.

[RedHat 9]$ make

shell.c:151: warning: unused variable `tmp'

Shouldn't ./configure tell me if I'm have a fatal omission?

Apart from EXIF support and a clue, what am I missing?
Should I move on from linux to a real OS?

Isn't this a clear clue? What more clear do you expect? Like the vague
error messages or clueless popup box from windoze?

Man, you propaply missed a header file which defines
gp_port_library_version(). Isn't it clear enough? Are you not able to
google "gp_port_library_version()"?

You think linux is not a real OS? Well maybe. But at least you have a
choice you can try make it youselr if your shipped OS doesn't support
your digital camera. For windoze, if the OS doesn't support it and the
driver supplied by the manufactuor got problem, you are then out of choices.

Go back to whatever OS you feel comfortable with if you feel too
frustrated with linux

everyone knows M$ Windows NT/2K/XP/Whatever is a *real* innovation.

../configure should be explict. Perhaps it should evauate dependencies,
offer to download the needed bits, and build/install them in proper
order.

E=2Eg.,

tring[vbcol=seagreen]
error:[vbcol=seagreen]
reference to[vbcol=seagreen]

Installation of software should not involve endless google searches
combined with endlessly recursive installations of other software.

If you insist on tying people to the GPL, then please have the civility
to offer the option to download and build the software on which yours
depends in ./configure.

I'm certain. It's clearly built by amateurs.

That option has nothing to do with linux.

Nope, I'm looking to move forward. I'm not convinced that linux is an
option; it's in way as often as not.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

What arrogant assholes. Of corse, we've ALL been with you since the
beginning.

Pfffffftttttt!111
It would be hard, but this MIGHT be as bad as mplayer.
