Revision history [back]

Turns out it was just a missing library.

sudo apt-get install libxaw7-dev

did the trick. After that the compilation with the SHARED keyword worked.

(Noteworthy is the cyrptic error message, though. The following means, apparently, that the xaw library is missing: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXAW_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND.)
