Compiling st2205tool and a gdlib error

[bobbarker]

I've been trying to compile st2205tool** (to modify a pictureframe LCD). I'm very newbish to compiling anything but I've read through tons of stuff, have the normal build-essentials and the like.

**Link to source: http://spritesmods.com/picframe/st2205tool-v1.4pre1.tgz

Right.

When I try and compile I get this:

adamsteele@bim:/usr/local/src/st2205tool$ make
make -C setpic
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/st2205tool/setpic'
gcc -o setpic main.o -lgd -L../libst2205 -lst2205

make[1]: *** [setpic] Error 1

So obviously there's a problem with libgd and from what I understand there's a few different versions (xpm vs. no xpm) and I've tried both versions with the same results....and I've got no clue what to do. I even tried libgd1 which gave problems of the library not even being found. It's not my code, but it apparently has worked for plenty of other people.

I'm using 7.10 with all this.

My only guess is that the libgd in the ubuntu repos is bad. I had this compiled and running within about 5 minutes after booting up Fedora. I suppose I'll try and compile libgd from source.

Compiled libgd from source and it worked.
