Re: [Anjuta-list] Still trying to understand why all builds fail...

[Dennis Möhlmann <spam darksaidin de>]

Hi Carlo, hello list,

I have the correct versions auf automake and autoconf. Unfortunatly
Anjuta doesn't export the WANT_AUTOCONF="2.5" and WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.7"
variables, but I can do that manually. (I don't know much about Linux
autotools, so maybe these variables are only needed on Gentoo - maybe
somebody could comment on thet?).

That however doesn't affect my problem that Anjuta doesn't generate
those files in the first place (Makefile.am and configure.in/ac). I had
a look through the Anjuta sources and it seems that it actually tries to
generate those files on it's own.
However, when I check it, neither the temp file nor the one in the
project folder is there  [it seems it first generates the source to a
temp dir and then copies this to the project folder if the one which is
there is not the same or if there is not yet any].

Another very strange thing I noticed is, that sometimes both files are
missing, sometimes only Makefile.am. I postet that before.

Well, anyways, thanks for the help. Seems like I'll need to dig through
the Anjuta sources.... Too bad I know so little about the various *nix
APIs it uses...
