[cairo] Compile problem. Error: object name conflicts....

[David Pollard]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm trying to compile cairo (1.0.2) on a Debian based system called Damn
Small Linux. (DSL)

As you might imagine from the name it is a bare bones OS.

 

My goal is to build a program called gpsDrive but this has several
prerequisites that aren't included in DSL.

I have been working through them one by one and have so far managed to get
lots of other things to compile.  gpsDrive uses GTK and I therefore need to
compile and install cairo.

 

I have been trying different things to try and get Cairo to compile for
several weeks now and I have to admit I'm stuck.  A quick search of the
mailing list archives didn't help with any ideas.

 

Here is the error message.

mkdir .libs/libcairo.lax/libpixman.a

(cd .libs/libcairo.lax/libpixman.a && ar x
/mnt/hda2/unpack/cairo/cairo-1.0.2/src/../pixman/src/.libs/libpixman.a)

libtool: link: ERROR: object name conflicts:
.libs/libcairo.lax/libpixman.a//mnt/hda2/unpack/cairo/cairo-1.0.2/src/../pix
man/src/.libs/libpixman.a

make[2]: *** [libcairo.la] Error 1

make[2]: Target `all' not remade because of errors.

make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/hda2/unpack/cairo/cairo-1.0.2/src'

Making all in public

make[3]: Entering directory `/mnt/hda2/unpack/cairo/cairo-1.0.2/doc/public'

make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

 

 

Here are the commands I'm using to build it.

 

      ./configure --disable-ps --disable-pdf --disable-libtool-lock >>
$LOGFILE 2>&1

      make clean >> $LOGFILE 2>&1

      make -j 1 --keep-going >> $LOGFILE 2>&1

      make install >> $LOGFILE 2>&1

 

I'm really stuck now on how to get this working.  Any Ideas?

 

David
