Failing to bild the cdk

[Sparkle]

I am trying (hard) to compile the cdk but I run into problems everytime. So I thougt that I should start over from scratch and take the problems one by one.

My first problem is when I have a fresh tuxbox-cvs sandbox and I run the ./autogen.sh shellscript. autogen.sh throws a lot of ugly warnings and stops complaining about INSTALL and COPYING. It will not continue until I touch the INSTALL/COPYING files.

This is the output from autogen.sh

Does anybody recognize this?

[Npq]

No, weird, autoreconf is supposed to symlink these to the generic versions.

Are you sure you have the required versions of all tools?

[Sparkle]

Yes, I think i have.

Snippet from INSTALL.en plus whats installed on my system.

I have now installed fakeroot and got this (better:) output. My very broken german tells me that this should do. Tru?

Nope. No change. Slightly different output. But the result is the same. Crashes on INSTALL and COPYING

I never had anything like that and also have trouble understanding why it fails when the bootstrap-script explicitly tells autoreconf to install missing files as a symlink.

I guess you have to play with the debug options of the autotools a bit.
(start with "autoreconf -f -i -s -v")

Good luck.

i had serval time ago similarly problems

after long search i have seen that somthing in /usr/share/aclocal-x ... /usr/share/automake-x was wrong

maybe you have the same problem?
