Trouble building hexchat on Fedora 17

[AaronJAnderson]

Following instructions at the bottom of this page:
http://www.hexchat.org/developers/building


I get through the autogen and configure steps. I get hung up on the "make" step:

Output:


/usr/bin/ld: sexy-spell-entry.o: undefined reference to symbol 'g_module_open'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'g_module_open' is defined in DSO /lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib64/libgmodule-2.0.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [hexchat] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/aaron/hexchat/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2


Can anyone provide some pointers?

I was able to get around this with:

LDFLAGS='-lgmodule-2.0' ./configure

Thanks friend. I was able to get this going pretty quickly.


Is there a way to package what I've now compiled into an RPM to use on other machines?

I appreciate the links but wanted to do some learning and do it myself ;)

Ok

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package

And an easy way to create a skeleton spec file, then fill out the missing bits

yum install rpmdevtools

rpmdev-newspec hexchat

If you get stuck you could refer to the attached spec
