Hate to send such a newbie question, but I was trying to obtain the latest version of make from the cvs repository - the version which has the recursive call macros enabled.
I am trying to build it on a cygwin-i686 system (cygwin is 1.3.10) and the INSTALL documentation in the distribution seems out of date as it refers to a "configure" script which isn't there). The documentation on the web simply says I need autoconf and automake and not much else. I tried running autoconf, it goes away for a second or so then simply returns. I tried running automake and get: configure.in: required file `config/install-sh' not found configure.in: required file `config/mkinstalldirs' not found configure.in: required file `config/missing' not found configure.in:28: required file `config/config.guess' not found configure.in:28: required file `config/config.sub' not found Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found configure.in:12: required file `./config.h.in' not found configure.in:360: required file `./build.sh.in' not found configure.in:35: required file `./ABOUT-NLS' not found Makefile.am: required file `config/compile' not found Makefile.am:118: automatically discovered file `getloadavg.c' should not be explicitly mentioned Makefile.am: required file `config/depcomp' not found Makefile.am:29: required file `config/texinfo.tex' not found I have simple grabbed the various latest make source direct via cvs so I don't know why these files are missing. The reason I need this is because I need the very latest package of incrTcl which appears to be already using recursive macros. The reason I need incrTcl is because the v5.1.1 version of "gdb+insight" requires it and I need that particular version in order to debug the dwarf2 file format used by the v3.1 and up of gcc. Its a nasty chain that just gets deeper and deeper :-( --------------------------------- Q-Games, Dylan Cuthbert. http://www.q-games.com _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
