libgnome is already built before libgnomeui. Here is the (similar) error I
get with very fresh (this afternoon via cvs) gnome-libs:


&& gawk -f maketypes.awk gnome.defs macros > gtb.tmp \
&& mv gtb.tmp gnometypebuiltins.h
gawk: maketypes.awk:24: fatal: cannot open file `gnome.defs' for reading
(No such file or directory)
make[2]: *** [gnometypebuiltins.h] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/sources/gnome-libs/libgnomeui'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/sources/gnome-libs'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

There is a file called gnome.defs, which was either included or generated
from the archive gnome-libs-0.30.1.tar.gz, but it does not exist in any of
the material downloaded via cvs. After getting gnome-libs with cvs, I ran
the script 'autogen.sh'. It creates the 'configure' script, and says to
type 'make' to compile gnome-libs. Am I woefully ignorant of some other
commands that must be run before one can run make?
