Re: [Banshee-List] Building from CVS problems with .m4 lmacros

[Lukas Spierings <spie loti nl>]

I haven't built Banshee from cvs for a while now, but what usually
worked was:

sudo apt-get install banshee
sudo apt-get install cvs
sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo apt-get build-dep banshee
sudo apt-get install automake1.9
sudo update-alternatives --set automake /usr/bin/automake-1.9
sudo ldconfig
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous anoncvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome co -P banshee
cd banshee
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ..
svn co svn://svn.banshee-project.org/trunk/banshee-official-plugins
cd banshee-official-plugins
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

Good luck!
