Thread: NetBSD configuration

NetBSD configuration

From

It used to be that configure asked for extra include and lib directories
using reasonable defaults.  Now I get failures because it can't find
readline unless I manually add these in.  Is this supposed to be picked
up automatically from the template file?  The template file has SRCH_INC
and SRCH_LIB but it doesn't seem to be picked up by configure.

    We recently switched it over to requiring you to use
'--with-includes=' and '--with-libs'

Woh, I found a problem with readline not being found too.  The fix was
to use --with-libraries, not --with-libs.  It doesn't error out with
--with-libs (nor with --with-asdf either), but it does nothing.
--with-libraries does the trick.

    Fixed... --with-libs == --with-libraries ... so you can use either
one...
