I posted here and to ports about difficulty I was having compiling teTeX-beta. I apparently missed some mails, but someone pointed out to me that this question had been answered on ports before. Since some other people have written to me asking what I found out, and even more who are helping out on the doc project may be interested, here is a relevant posting from the freebsd-ports archive: >I was trying to build the teTeX-beta port (tetex-0.9-981113) under >FreeBSD 3.0-ELF, when ld failed showing the following messages: > >cc -o oxdvi.bin xdvi.o dvi_draw.o dvi_init.o events.o font_open.o gf.o pk.o psdps.o psgs.o psheader.o psnews.o special.o util.o vf.o sfDir.o sfDraw.o sfPath.o sfSelFile.o hypertex.o mime.o wwwfetch.o -L/usr/local/lib -lwww -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 ../kpathsea/STATIC/libkpathsea.a -lm >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_endAnchor' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_appendParagraph' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_appendLink' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_appendObject' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_appendText' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_endAppend' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_beginAnchor' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_beginAppend' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_setStyle' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_appendImage' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_appendCharacter' >/usr/local/lib/libwww.so: undefined reference to `HText_new2' >gmake[2]: *** [oxdvi.bin] Error 1 > >Previously I had built the libwww-5.2 port without any problems. >A few days ago, I built the same teTeX port succesfully on another >machine, this time running 2.2.8-STABLE (obviously a.out). > >If I move libwww.so to another place, and then I build teTeX again, >everything works fine (i.e., linking with the libwww static library >works). > >I made a little test, compiling and linking a tiny "Hello, world" >program with libwww, and I also got the same error messages; but when >compiled using the -static flag, the program was linked fine. > >Then I switched to examine the libwww sources.

However, I don't fully understand it. Is it saying that >every program that will be linked with the shared libwww needs to >include the "HTextImp.h" header file? If this is indeed the case, >then the teTeX sources need to be modified... But then, why does the >same teTeX port link fine with the same libwww-5.2 under 2.2.8 (a.out)? > >-- JM >----------------------------------------------------------------------- >José Mª Alcaide | <a href="mailto:jose@we.lc.ehu.es">mailto:jose@we.lc.ehu.es</a> >Universidad del País Vasco | <a href="http://www.we.lc.ehu.es/~jose">http://www.we.lc.ehu.es/~jose</a>; >Dpto. de Electricidad y Electrónica | >Facultad de Ciencias - Campus de Lejona | Tel.: +34-946012479 >48940 Lejona (Vizcaya) - SPAIN | Fax: +34-944858139 >----------------------------------------------------------------------- > "Go ahead... make my day." - H.
