Hi, I installed devkitPPC and sucessfully tried to compile Example-sources. Now I wanted to compile a downloaded source. Unfortunatelly there is a problem with linking.

Code: Select all

linking ... wad-manager.elf
/home/floh/daten/development/wii/devkitpro/devkitPPC/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-gekko/4.2.4/../../../../powerpc-gekko/bin/ld: cannot find -lpng

The source of libpng* is already in the source of WAD-Manager and compiled (=> build/pngu.d build/pngu.o). What am I doing wrong? If you need information, let me know please and I'll provide this.

Code: Select all

floh@Turion:~/daten/development/wii/devkitpro/WAD-Manager_v1.3_src/wad-manager$ ls -l source/libpng/*
-rw-r--r-- 1 floh floh  46173 2008-05-08 05:58 source/libpng/pngconf.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 floh floh 152462 2008-05-08 05:58 source/libpng/png.h

source/libpng/pngu:

My fault!

I already copied libraries into lib-path. But the problem was, the png-library was called libpng12.a but I need libpng.a.
Solution:
ln -s libpng12.a libpng.a

Now linking was sucessful (I hope so, since I can test the bin at weekend first).
