SUN's MediaLib 2.2 and Ogle-0.9.1

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to fill you in on my results...

SUN's MediaLib 2.2 is made of the following packages:

application SUNWmlib       mediaLib - Shared Libraries
application SUNWmliba      mediaLib - Archive Libraries
application SUNWmlibe      mediaLib - Examples
application SUNWmlibh      mediaLib - Headers
application SUNWmlibk      mediaLib - Header and Example Links
application SUNWmlibl      mediaLib - Library Links

One of the important 'changes' in MediaLib 2.2 is that headers go in
/usr/include instead of /opt/SUNWmlib/include. A compatibility package is
provided that will do the following:
1) create an empty /opt/SUNWlib directory.
2) link /usr/include to /opt/SUNWmlib/include
3) link /usr/lib to /opt/SUNWmlib/lib

This will make ogle-0.9.1 fail to compile with multiple errors because:
ogle forcibly includes /opt/SUNWmlib/include which will point to
/usr/include as of MediaLib-2.2 (ever tried to -I/usr/include with gcc on
Solaris/Sparc ?? Hmmm..).

The workaround - if using MediaLib 2.2 - is -NOT- to install SUNWmlibk and
instead do the following:
1) cd /opt/SUNWmlib
2) mkdir include && cd include
3) ln -s /usr/include/mlib*.h /opt/SUNWmlib/include

Of course, it would be best to modify ogle's configure script to
auto-detecte if mlib*.h is in /usr/include and skip /opt/SUNWmlib/include
entirely.. I'll try to come up with a patch that works for both 2.1 and
2.2 but I wanted to report this 'problem'.

Best regards and thanks again for making ogle run on Solaris.. :)
