Trying to compile from the CVS code and this happens when I run make -f Makefile.cvs to build the configure scripts
Code: Select all
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

I can reproduce this having aclocal-1.4 up to 1.10 installed. Any quick hints?

Solved: Force usage of automake-1.10 and you will be fine...

errrr..... I just got done checking. I' only have automake1.10, and the error hasn't changed at all.

sorry. turned out that I still had automake1.7 hiding in my system (was
supposed to be removed ages ago). after removing that and trying again got:

See the Autoconf documentation.

It gave me a configure file though, and it's running. So I guess those errors aren't much to worry over.

You need to install the gconf dev package.

I get this also, even when using automake 1.10, should I force some version of autoconf too?
