You can check if the tarball works correctly by running "make > check-dist" afterwards. Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately it does not work on my Ubuntu 9.04 installation. I think that this is the relevant output from the terminal: Last change made on 2009-06-27 at 17:08:09Z in file 'dvbcut.h' by 'too-tired' Prepared header file './src/version.h' for version/revision: 0.6.0-release/165 cd dvbcut-0.6.0 && \ find . -type f ! -name MANIFEST -exec wc -c {} \; | \ sort +1 >MANIFEST sort: open failed: +1: No such file or directory find: `wc' terminated by signal 13 find: `wc' terminated by signal 13 find: `wc' terminated by signal 13 find: `wc' terminated by signal 13 find: `wc' terminated by signal 13 <snip> find: `wc' terminated by signal 13 find: `wc' terminated by signal 13 find: `wc' terminated by signal 13 make: *** [stamp-dist] Error 2 It seems to me that a file named MANIFEST is missing. Do I have to create it and what should be its content? Or should it be automatically generated? Thanks in advance for any help, Francesco ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ DVBCUT-user mailing list DVBCUT-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dvbcut-user
