Requires g++, and something else?

Requires g++, and something else?

[Scot Becker]

Friends,

I'm a brand new joiner to notmuch ('course so is nearly everyone).

I just tried compiling, and I see:

1.  g++ is also a 'dependency' though ./configure didn't catch it.
2.  I 'make' breaks with the following error:
.....
  CXX	lib/thread.o
  AR	lib/notmuch.a
  CXX	notmuch
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [notmuch] Error 1

This is a just-now git clone on a Ubuntu 9.10 machine which doesn't
happen to have too much dev stuff loaded.
Feel free to ignore this if it's been reported or it's otherwise 'known'

Cheers,
Scot

This is because you will need the development package for zlib, package
name is "zlib1g-dev", once you have the devel packages listed in the
README file plus this one you shoule be able of building NotMuch
successfully.

Good luck, and best regards,

For what it is worth, this should be fixed in the next release of
libgmime.

Hi Scot, welcome to notmuch!

Oh, good point. I did assume you at least had a functional compiler. But
yeah, the configure script should actually check for that I suppose.

This was answered well already. It's really a packaging but of GMime,
(since *it* depends on libz, so notmuch depends on it indirectly, but
doesn't actually need to link directly with libz as GMime is instructing
us to do so here).
