make error

Hi,

Are you passing -lxtract to the linker to tell it to link to the libxtract shared library. If you're compiling and linking in one pass, the command should look something like this:

gcc -o simpletest simpletest.c -lxtract

[26mansi]

i removed argument for building the simpletest from the configure command. i will do it late using gcc and linking it with lxtract.
configure works fine but the make after that throws up an error saying
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxtract

also what are the args to be passed to enable fft

thanks

mansi

That's strange. What system are you running on? I can't reproduce the error here, e.g. if I do sudo make uninstall && make maintainer-clean && ./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-simpletest && make then everything works as expected.

Regarding FFT, FFT is always enabled. It will use Apple's Accelerate framework for FFT if it is available, otherwise it will use the Ooura implementation bundled with LibXtract. You can explicitly use Ooura on an Accelerate system using --with-ooura

[26mansi]

I'm running Mint Nadia .
here is the output of the entire
sudo make uninstall && make maintainer-clean && ./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-simpletest && make

hopefully it can throw leads to what could be wrong

[jamiebullock]

Right, I think I know what the problem might be. It seems to be passing the correct linker flags and paths, so I think my original suspicion was probably wrong. I think it might be the case that it's not building with any FFT implementation at all, not even Ooura. I'll take a look at this tonight and try to push a build system fix.

I also found /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxtract
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I just build LibXtract from scratch using Mint 15, codename "Olivia", and everything worked just fine.

Closing the issue unless someone reports further problems installing on Mint.
