[frogu]

Hello, I'm a big fs/fs2/b5 fan, thus I've tried to compile fs2_open from source obatained from CVS checkout (did't find any linux binaries, or packaged code), but I can't move past autogen-sh (or manual aclocal && autoconf && automake && ./configure && make).

Any ideas what's wrong? Need more info?
PS. Thanks in advance for Your time

software version:
recent gentoo linux
autoconf: 2.59
automake: 1.9.5

Here's the freindly output:

frogu@ph34r ~/piaskownica/fs2_open/fs2_open $ ./autogen.sh
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

[mrduckman]

what wxwin version are you using?

[frogu]

wxGTK: 2.4.2-r3

If that is what you had in mind

[fizz]

That looks really odd. It might have to do with aclocal not finishing because of this line

Code: [Select]

/usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4:172: file `path_dps.m4' does not exist
Can you try removing that file and running autogen again?

[Mr_Maniac]

Hmm... Have you tried to re-checkout the CVS-Tree?
And yes... Try to remove the "path_dps.m4"... But make a back-up of that file before you remove it
I'm using a Gentoo-Linux, too (updating every day)... And I don't even have a "path_dps.m4"...
Hmm... No! Wait!
emerge the gentoolkit and then do a
"equery b /usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4"
That should list to what package this file belongs....
You can paste the output here...
Maybe we can help then...

[mrduckman]

Hmm. I have earlier versions of automake/aclocal and autoconf..
Some syntax must have changed

[dizzy]

Well, even automake devs don't give support for automake versions earlier than 1.9.x. So better checkout to have automake 1.9.x and autoconf > 2.53

[mrduckman]

Yeah.
But, MacOSX 10.4.2 and debian testing (which I use) don't have those so updated. The blesses of Gentoo, I'd guess

[fizz]

You should be ok with anything greater than 1.7.0, maybe even 1.6. I'd be positively shocked if debian didn't have that (AFAIK they default to 1.4, but there are additional packages (called automake1.x or somesuch)). And anyways, building and installing automake is pretty trivial so you could always try that.

[WMCoolmon]

Ubuntu had different packages for the proper automake versions, so doing an apt-get update didn't help me at all. Manually installing a new package did. It could be similar in Debian.

equery b /usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4

[ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4 in *... ]
app-text/dgs-0.5.10-r1 (/usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4)

but there is no such thing in portage... strange. Will investigate it further.

[Mr_Maniac]

@frogu: You don't have to...
I saw that this is in bugs.gentoo.org many times...
And each time, deleting path_dps.m4 is the solution...
It's just a left-over from an very old package that was removed from portage...
Just delete this file and everything should work fine again...

[frogu]

Mr_Maniac, fizz:: thx.
deleting that file fixes auto* problems.

I'll try to `make` in a few days - gotta pass some exams now

frg.

PS. Arghhh I'm used to gentoo fscking up something now and then, but such leftover files should be cleaned by emerge clean or something.
