Re: Problem configuring gtkpod-0.94.0 in cygwin:

[breakthestate <breakthestate at gmail dot com>]

I had really weird formatting problems with my last post, and I'm very sorry,
please use this below as my question:

I have cygwin/X working on my computer and have compiled a couple of programs
and use them with no problems, but I am having trouble during ./configure in my
attempt to compile gtkpod from source.  Here is the error message:

checking for id3_frame_field in -lid3tag... no
configure: error: *** id3tag >= 0.15 lib not found (0.14 will not work!)

Here is (I hope) the relevant part of my config.log file:

Before attempting to compile, I downloaded the source and compiled with
'./configure; make; make install' the following three items:

libmad-0.15.1b
libid3tag-0.15.1b
libgpod-0.1.6

Then I follow the instructions for the Cygwin port: 
http://www.oliwen.com/bamanzi/cygwin/release/gtk2/gtkpod/gtkpod.README 

Build gtkpod on Cygwin
-------------------------
1. Download source package from http://gtkpod.sourceforge.net
and make sure you have header files and export library of libid3tag.
And if you want AAC support, you need to build libmp4v2 
  (source package available from http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net)

2. Unpack
 $ tar zxvf gtkpod-${version}.tar.gz

3. Patch
 For version greater than 0.93, you need to edit src/Makefile.in and
 add '-export-all-symbols' to 'gtkpod_LDFLAGS'.

4. Build
 $ cd gtkpod-${version}
 $ CFLAGS="-O2 -L/usr/local/include" LIBS="-I/usr/local/lib" ./configure

I am not sure exactly what step 3 is asking for, but I edited the file so that
the line with 'gtkpod_LDFLAGS' looks like the following:

gtkpod_LDFLAGS= -export-all-symbols

I was unsure as to whether or not I should have used single or double quotes or
even any quotes at all.

I am confused.  Maybe I should have passed some options during the ./configure
stage of compiling libid3tag-0.15.1b?

Any suggestions?
