[Chicken-users] ezxdisp install on OS X

[David N Murray]

Hi,

I couldn't chicken-install ezxdisp on my Mac.  It failed with the
complaint

  /usr/local/bin/csc -feature compiling-extension -setup-mode    -s -O3
-d1 -X easyffi ezxdisp.scm -C -w ezxdisp-x11.c -C "-I.
-I/usr/X11R6/include" -L "-L -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11" -j ezxdisp
ld: -L must be immediately followed by a directory path (no space)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

My workaround was to -retrieve the egg, fix ezxdisp.setup to remove the
first "-L" and it installed fine.

I'm guessing this is a gcc problem.  The mac is using 4.2.1 from XCode.  I
had no problems installing the egg on my linux box, which is using 4.4.4.
The gcc 4.4.4 info page doesn't document what "-L" does without a
directory.  Looks like it's probably ignoring it.

TIA,
Dave
