Re: [Anjuta-list] Error during Autogen: "cannot find input file: Makefile.in"

Hi,

I believe you might have run into the same problem I had for months:
The current Anjuta version uses the cmp command-line tool to verify that
a file really needs to be created and doesn't already exists in the same
version (to prevent the file date from being changed for no reason).
However, certain cmp-version don't seem to exit with a proper return
value in all cases which might lead Anjuta to not create a file when
actually necessary.

Three possible ways to work around this:

- remove cmp from your system (make a backup!). Anjuta will stop using
it and create the file in all cases.

- apply a patch[1] I submitted a few weeks ago. It provides a custom
C-based compare function. Anjuta won't require cmp anymore.

- wait for the next Anjuta release which will include this patch.


[1] patch can be found here:

Best regards,
  Dennis
