Trying to build on FreeBSD

[plasmoduck]

I have imlib2 installed (/usr/local/include/Imlib2.h)

CC autoreload_inotify.o
In file included from autoreload_inotify.c:19:
./sxiv.h:27:10: fatal error: 'Imlib2.h' file not found
#include <Imlib2.h>
^~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

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

[iamleot]

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

Please retry!

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

[plasmoduck]

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

[iamleot]

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).

[plasmoduck]

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

[plasmoduck]

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