Hi,
I've installed PIL 1.1.3 on FreeBSD Unix. Things went pretty well
(considering I barely read any documentation), except for these
hiccups:
1) I built my own jpeg6 and zlib but didn't know to indicate that on the
configure line (might be nice to put a note about that in the BUILDME file).
2) My configure line eventually looked like this:
./configure --with-jpeg=/home/eaw/local/lib --with-zlib=/home/eaw/local/lib
but still I got an error building coretest:
gcc -o coretest coretest.o libImaging.a -lz -ljpeg -lm
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -ljpeg
*** Error code 1
I had to add my library to the Makefile to get it to build:
LIBS= -L/home/eaw/local/lib -lz -ljpeg -lm
However, even when the build of coretest failed, it still passed
Mini/tests.py fine.
In any case, thanks Fredrik!
