Cannot build: "cannot find -lfam"

[andrew`]

Hello,

I am using Trisquel 5.5 which is based on Ubuntu 11.10. I have tried compiling 0 A.D. but when I do make -j3 I get:

[...]

Linking pyrogenesis

Creating obj/test_Release

ActorEditor.cpp

precompiled.h

Linking ActorEditor

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfam

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[1]: *** [../../../binaries/system/pyrogenesis] Error 1

make: *** [pyrogenesis] Error 2

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

I tried installing fam and libfam0 packages (I was just guessing) but it didn't work. I know I can just use the PPA but I would like to see what the problem is anyway.

Any help would be appreciated!

Andrew.

I guess you are compiling alpha 11, so you should pass

--without-fam

to update-workspaces.sh. (This was a minor issue fixed shortly after the release, as fam was disabled by default in alpha 11 and replaced by inotify (which is in the kernel))

Thanks for that - it compiled with that option.
