Compiling CVS Bonobo

[Ravi Pratap M <ravi_pratap email com>]

Hi all,

    I checked out CVS HEAD bonobo and have been trying to get it to
    compile nicely on this super-slow machine of mine.

    I seem to be running into a most mysterious error during the
    autogen.sh process when it tries to create the various makefiles.
    Here's what's happening :

    checking for Oaf >= 0.6.2... found
    checking for libXml >= 1.8.10... found
    checking for gtkdoc-mkdb... true
    checking for gdk-pixbuf-config... /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-config
    checking for GDK_PIXBUF - version >= 0.6.0... yes
    checking for GnomePrint libraries >= 0.16... found
    updating cache ./config.cache
    creating ./config.status
    creating bonobo.spec

    (... more of the same error)

    ....

    updating cache .././config.cache
    creating ./config.status
    creating Makefile
    creating src/Makefile
    creating doc/Makefile
    creating libefs-config
    creating libefs.pc
    creating config.h


    Configuration:

    	Source code location:	.
    	Compiler:		gcc 

    Now type `make' to compile Bonobo
    [ravi swathy bonobo]$ make
    make: *** No targets.  Stop.


    Any ideas on why this seems broken ? Much appreciate any help.

    Note, this does not happen with bonobo-0.37 

    Regards,

        Ravi
