checking for main in -ltiff... no

**jhsrennie** · 2013-01-15 11:08

I'm trying to set up a new development system with Ubuntu 12.10. All seemed to go well, but when I run:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-pulse --enable-vdpau

I get the error:

Code:

checking for main in -ltiff... no

configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.

I copied and pasted the various apt-get commands from README.Ubuntu, but either I've missed something or something has changed and not made it to the documentation yet. If anyone can spot my deliberate mistake I'd be most grateful.

Panic over, Google to the rescue as usual.

If anyone else runs into this problem you need:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libtiff5-dev

If you're going to use --enable-vdpau you also need libvdpau-dev

should these be added to README.ubuntu?
