Re: Howto generate configure?

Hello again :-/

Well as far as I know to be able to "make dist" I guess I have to run
the generated configure-script first, however it fails saying GConf2
is missing.
However I've GConf2 installed, I even updated it to 2.14 to make sure
I use an up-to-date version and its installed in default location ...
will gconf2 also be needed for my embedded build?!

I don't understand, classpath-0.91 builds so nicely but CVS only
causes problems to me.
As far as i know gconf was not needed, the downloadable tarball just
compiled without causing any problems.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

As long as you build on the machine where you ran autogen.sh this is no
problem. When you want to use everything on a second machine you should
use "make dist" and use the created classpath-VERSION.tar.gz on the
other machine. It includes all files directly and no symlinks. This way
you can use the latest autotools from fedora and build easily in your
Maemo-scratchbox environemnt.


Cheers,
Michael
