[ale] building imlib

[Joseph A. Knapka]

[Disclaimer: I've never built imlib myself.]

Somewhere in the top-level Makefile, or possibly in
a Makefile in some subdirectory, there will be a make
target called (probably) libimlib.so. (I'm assuming
imlib is really a library, not an executable that has
a silly misleading name). The gcc command
to build that target needs to have the "-ljpeg" flag,
either directly or indirectly (by way of a variable).

Explicit details:

There's going to be a section that looks like:

libimlib.so : <dependencies>
	gcc blah blah blah

or possibly:

TARGET = libimlib.so
...possibly very many lines...
$(TARGET) : <dependencies>
	gcc blah blah blah

The target might be called something else (libim.so, maybe),
but it will almost certainly start with "lib" and end
with ".so" (or maybe ".a", but I doubt it).

If you put "-ljpeg" at the end of the "gcc" line good things
should happen.

BTW it would be helpful if you would post the "make" output,
rather than just "it didn't work" :-)

HTH,
