armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lXinerama

Trying to compile [sDL]MAME 149 with Code::Blocks with C/C++/Py/Perl/Fortran/Ruby Development Tool using the Command Line Interface.

:~$make NOASM=1 NOWERROR=1
 

Early into the build it fails with the error:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [obj/sdl/build/file2str] Error 1
From the DisplayLink thread it appears that Xinerama does not work on SZ 1.54.
Is there a workaround or an option to include or ignore the Xinerama library?

Thanks!

I will include Xinerama on next build. In the mean time, you can compilte it yourself, it's a very small package.

I am not familiar with compiling libraries and getting them to work with the PND compilers. However I am willing to try if I can get some pointers.

I ended up installing the compile environment to nand using the using the Angstrom packages.

Thanks

just compile the libraries to a prefix such as /mnt/utmp/codeblocks/usr and the codeblocks will be able to use it in the next compilation.

Is there a way for the Code::Blocks with C/C++/Py/Perl/Fortran/Ruby Development Tool PND to use the Xinerama library that I installed to the NAND?
