[H-GEN] Compiling error....

[Michael Anthon]

(Note reply-to: being general at humbug.org.au vs Michael Anthon <mca at tams.com.au>)

I'm trying to compile a program on my Linux box.  It's a GUI ftp/http
getting tool thingy supposedly (don't be put off by the file name, it's
nothing to do with NT, although I wonder about the authors state of mind).
It wont compile 8^(.

Well, it compiles, but it will not link properly.... here is the command
line and error message...

bash> make
cd face && make -j2
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/nt-0.99/main/face'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/nt-0.99/main/face'
rm -f nt || test -z ""
make -j2 nt

Here's a few other bits that might shed some light on it

bash> gtk-config --cflags
-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/gnome/lib/glib/include
-I/usr/local/gnome/include

bash> gtk-config --libs
-L/usr/local/gnome/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule
-lglib -ldl -lXext -lX11 -lm

bash> c++ --version
pgcc-2.91.66

bash> locate crtbegin.o
/debian/usr/i486-linuxchecker/lib/crtbegin.o
/debian/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.3/crtbegin.o
