Re: Compiling MEDM and Striptool on Ubuntu 1204

[Jeong Han Lee <jhlee@ibs.re.kr>]

Dear Keith,

  I want to share my experience to compile MEDM 3.1.7 and my system is 
Debian 3.2.35-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Testing). According to your email, I 
changed only X11_LIB in CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64.linux-x86_64 as follows :

  X11_LIB=/usr/lib64/x86_64-linux-gnu

  That resolved the following compile errors

make[2]: *** No rule to make target 
`../../../../lib/linux-x86_64/libXt.a', needed by `medm'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/home/jhlee/epics/extensions/src/medm3_1_7/medm/O.linux-x86_64'
make[1]: *** [install.linux-x86_64] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jhlee/epics/extensions/src/medm3_1_7/medm'
make: *** [medm.install] Error 2


  Thank you,

  Jeong Han Lee
