So what packages are needed to compile theIDE in Linux?
Right now I'm getting an error that there's an undefined reference to `XauDisposeAuth' and `XauGetBestAuthByAddr' coming from libX11.a
Any clues Confused

That is really strange, I never heard or referenced anything named like this....

What distro are you using?

You need to install libxau-dev & libxau6 before u could compile ide

libxau-dev - X11 authorisation library (development headers)
libxau6 - X11 authorisation library

I get these errors if I try to compile applications with "all static" as the link mode in Ubuntu.
And some kind of error messages about libxinerama...?

and I have those packages already...

oisin@euler:~$ sudo apt-get install libxau6 libxau-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
libxau6 is already the newest version.
libxau-dev is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Trying to build with link mode as "use shared libs" works, though.

However, I noticed that even very simple applications compile to over 2 megs in Windows with mingw-g++ ... is this normal?

- you cannot build in static mode in linux. We perhaps should that option remove completely... (the cause is that some linux libraries are simply missing in static form).

- mingw - unfortunately, it is correct. GCC is not very good in keeping executable size low.

That said, very small GUI apps are really a bit long (1MB with MSC compiler) (no surprise, they contain a lot of stuff statically linked in). That is the price we pay for being "self-contained". IME, it is better to sacrifice 1MB than to introduce DLL-hell.

Moreover, to good part is that the code size grows slowly afterwards. Just consider amount of functions TheIDE contains in 4MB .exe...

I think u make a very good point. You must use shared libs mode as it is the safest way to do so.

By the way, what are the error messages about libxinerama?

Also, u must select "Blitz" so that u will not need to compile more than 2Mpeg for a simple program the second time. For the first time, no magics could be done other than have your fingers crossed.

I'm using ubuntu, 6.06 Dapper Drake.

libxau6 is already the newest version.
libxau-dev is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Tried it with about every combo of build options, all give that error.
I'm going to try a fresh install to see if somehow a detected path was wrong (I did not have all the necessary packages when I first installed).
I'll let you know how it goes.

Sorry, I thought I had replied to this. A reinstall did the trick- I don't know if it was a path setup wrong b/c I didn't have all the packages installed or what. But it works now. And all is good.
Thanks.
