Compiling on Mandrake Cooker

[drjoe]

I'm going to have a go at compiling celestia on mandrake cooker.

Already ran into one problem. automake/autoconf

autoconf2.5-2.54-1mdk.noarch.rpm
automake1.6-1.7.1-2mdk.noarch.rpm

don't work. I have to downgrade to the
automake/autoconf on Mandrake 9.0

automake1.6-1.6.3-1mdk
autoconf2.5-2.53-3mdk

Don't have the energy to figure out what is wrong, but wanted to leave
this note for anyone trying to do this.

Had to create three zero length files for configure

admin/ltmain.sh
admin/config.guess
admin/config.sub

Also had to modify the configure script by hand to get past the Glut test

Had to change the following. Not sure how to modify config script

Code: Select all

*** configure~  Sun Dec  1 19:30:25 2002
--- configure   Sun Dec  1 19:52:49 2002

! LIBS="-lglut  $LIBS"
  cat >conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
  #line $LINENO "configure"
  #include "confdefs.h"
--- 29295,29301 ----

  cat >conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
  #line $LINENO "configure"
  #include "confdefs.h"

The better thing to do is to check for Xmu and Xt which are necessary for GlUt to work

Done configing... Starting to compile.....

Managed to get it working on Mandrake cooker with the config changes.
There were some include files that I had to add.

Now to start hacking the code.

You can run 'libtoolize --force' to create those.

There are problems with the linux version of the latest CVS. You can check out with -D '2002-11-22' to get the latest stable code.

What errors do you get with cooker's automake/autoconf?
