I am trying to build a program from the source, under Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2.

When I run ./configure script, eventually it tells me:
Code:
...
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.0... yes
checking for LIBCDIO... configure: error: *** libcdio not found!

But libcdio was already installed - to the default path
Code:
/usr/local/lib

I have tried to link it manually, here are my failed attempts:
Code:
_____________1_____________
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib" ./configure
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib" ./configure
_____________2_____________
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"
./configure
_____________3_____________
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"
./configure
_____________4_____________
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"
./configure
_____________5_____________
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
./configure
_____________6_____________
export PKG_CONFIG="/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig"
./configure
_____________7_____________
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig"
./configure
_____________8_____________
sudo env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure

_____________9_____________
SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/lib
SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH

Please, tell me, how to solve this problem?
 
Calm down. There's no need to scream.

Run:
Code:
./configure --help

There might be a switch to add to configure where to look for libcio.

Sometimes you do something like this:
Code:
./configure --withcdio=/usr/local

Notice that I've dropped lib from the path.

In order to compile, you'll need more than just the .a or .dylib file in /usr/local/lib, you'll also need the .h files in /usr/local/include. This kind of switch says look for the headers files in /usr/local/include and the lib files in /usr/local/lib.

Please do note that there way or may not be a --withcdio switch, or it might be named something else. So don't just copy this and complain if it doesn't work. You'll have to investigate the output of --help.
 
Execution result for "./configure --help" :
Code:
`configure' configures this package to adapt to many kinds of systems.

Usage: ./configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE.  See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.

Defaults for the options are specified in brackets.

Configuration:
  -h, --help              display this help and exit
      --help=short        display options specific to this package
      --help=recursive    display the short help of all the included packages
  -V, --version           display version information and exit
  -q, --quiet, --silent   do not print `checking...' messages
      --cache-file=FILE   cache test results in FILE [disabled]
  -C, --config-cache      alias for `--cache-file=config.cache'
  -n, --no-create         do not create output files
      --srcdir=DIR        find the sources in DIR [configure dir or `..']

Installation directories:
  --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                          [/usr/local]
  --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                          [PREFIX]

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.

For better control, use the options below.

Fine tuning of the installation directories:
  --bindir=DIR            user executables [EPREFIX/bin]
  --sbindir=DIR           system admin executables [EPREFIX/sbin]
  --libexecdir=DIR        program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]

  --sharedstatedir=DIR    modifiable architecture-independent data [PREFIX/com]
  --localstatedir=DIR     modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]
  --libdir=DIR            object code libraries [EPREFIX/lib]
  --includedir=DIR        C header files [PREFIX/include]
  --oldincludedir=DIR     C header files for non-gcc [/usr/include]
  --datarootdir=DIR       read-only arch.-independent data root [PREFIX/share]
  --datadir=DIR           read-only architecture-independent data [DATAROOTDIR]

Some influential environment variables:

  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  LIBS        libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library>
  CPPFLAGS    (Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if
              you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CPP         C preprocessor
  CCAS        assembler compiler command (defaults to CC)
  CCASFLAGS   assembler compiler flags (defaults to CFLAGS)
  CXX         C++ compiler command
  CXXFLAGS    C++ compiler flags
  CXXCPP      C++ preprocessor
  PKG_CONFIG  path to pkg-config utility
  XMKMF       Path to xmkmf, Makefile generator for X Window System
  JACK_CFLAGS C compiler flags for JACK, overriding pkg-config
  JACK_LIBS   linker flags for JACK, overriding pkg-config
  LIBCDIO_CFLAGS
              C compiler flags for LIBCDIO, overriding pkg-config
  LIBCDIO_LIBS
              linker flags for LIBCDIO, overriding pkg-config
  SNDFILE_CFLAGS
              C compiler flags for SNDFILE, overriding pkg-config
  SNDFILE_LIBS
              linker flags for SNDFILE, overriding pkg-config

Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.

Report bugs to the package provider.


----------

I tried to link the libraries using the following way:
Code:
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local -I/usr/local/lib -I/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"
sudo ./configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin`uname -r`
, but it failed again. :confused:
 
It looks like configure is expecting to be able to use pkg-config to get the compiler flags for libcdio. These compiler flags will include the path of libcdio's header files (via -I) and path of libcdio's link files (via -L). This will be why it's not letting you put a directory path after --with-cdio.

What's the output of this command?
Code:
pkg-config --cflags --libs libcdio

This will be the command (or something similar to it) that configure will be using to test if and where you have libcdio installed.


BTW You shouldn't be running ./configure with sudo. Sudo elevates the execution of a program to having root/administrative access. You may be complicating yourself now by having some files having been created with root access and some without.

Before you proceed. I would trash your current source directory and extract a fresh copy from the archive you downloaded.


Second BTW, do you even want physical input/output access to CDs that bypasses the operating system. libcdio is actually optional. If you don't want/need its functionality, add --without-libcdio to ./configure and be done with libcdio.


Third BTW. You might be doing this all the hard way. You know about Macports right? If MacPorts has the software you're trying to install, installing it via MacPorts is going to be a whole lot easier. MacPorts will not only installed all the dependent software, but will include all the right configure switches for the software to work on Mac OS X.

The output is:
Code:
-I/opt/local/include  -R/opt/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib -lcdio -lm -liconv

Finally, after I have installed pkg-config, it is working!
Thank you very much for such a valuable clue!
