Trying to build on FreeBSD about sxiv HOT 10 OPEN

It is probably needed to pass CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the make invocation so the include files and libraries can be picked up, e.g.:

$ make CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/lib"

...will probably DTRT.

Maybe you can make a patch config.mk or something that supports FreeBSD as well

Sorry, there was a copypasto: I missed /lib in LDFLAGS.

Please retry!

Stop.

Passing AUTORELOAD=nop as a Make flag similar to CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS should disable inotify support and probably address this issue too.

from sxiv.

thanks, thats crazy all these flags I have to use. I still think a config.mk would be much easier.

from sxiv.

I would just use the package provided by your favourite package system (and/or look for possible adjustments there!). :)

Without using pkg-config - and for AUTORELOAD probably also checking it at configure time - I think that also having a config.mk thingie would need manual intervention (it would only move some variables currently present in Makefile to a separate file).

from sxiv.

I just find that structure easier to follow and modify like the other suckless programs.

from sxiv.

so what can I put in my Makefile edit so I can just type make?
