[barcode] [Fwd: barcode-0.98 installation issues]

[David Smith]

Hi,
   Thanks to all for their replies to the post below. I think I have 
managed to get barcode-0.98 installed as I can run the app # barcode, it 
allows me to type various characters and it replies back with 
information that looks fairly appropriate.

I am now trying to get genbarcode-0.4 on the solaris 10 box and I am 
receiving all kinds of problems such as:

1. There's no ./configure option

2. The Readme file states that I should simply make & then make install, 
that gives me the following errors:
#make
creating dependencies
rm -rf .tmp.dep
xargs: illegal option -- 0
xargs: Uasage: xargs: [various options........]
find: bad option -maxdepth
find: [-H | -L] path-list predicate-list
make: *** [.dep] Error 2
#

3. In the unzipped archive there is a genbarcode.c file. I can do the 
following which creates a .o object genbarcode.o:
#gcc -c genbarcode.c

However when I run the following command it fails. I'm not sure if I'm 
running the wrong command or whether it's failing for some other reason.
# gcc -o genbarcode genbarcode.o
Undefined                              first referenced
   symbol                                  in file
Barcode_Delete                            genbarcode.o
Barcode_Create                            genbarcode.o
Barcode_Encode                            genbarcode.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to genbarcode
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
#

Any help with any of the above would be greatly appreciated as I seem to 
be at a dead end and I've got a soar head from banging it against the wall.

As you'll gather I am a neebie to barcode software and unix in general.

Thanks
David

Hi,
   I am wondering if anyone can throw a few suggestions my way into why
I may be experiencing the following issue installing barcode-0.98 on
Solaris 10?

I am running Solaris 10 Sparc Generic_138888-03 Sun-Blade-1500
I have downloaded and pkgadd (ed) the following packages with reference
to the dependencies for gd-2.0.35:

xpm
freetype
fontconfig
libintl
libpng
zlib
expat
jpeg-6b

All of the above dependencies as well as the actual app have been installed.

$PATH is set to
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin

crle is configured to contain:
/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib

I do the following:
# gunzip < barcod.....tar.gz | tar xvf -
# cd barcode....
# ./configure

I get the following error:

# ./configure
