Hi, I think the first step is to downgrade tools like autoconf. I have not built kexi 1 on newer systems. Downgrading tools can be however hard on newer systems, building them (tools) from source may be needed... It's all-or-nothing situation. Another way to prepare build for kexi 1 is to use unsermake, a replacement for automake. I wonder if there is a help possible to get from an autoconf/autotools mailing list? These are just quick ideas. All the issues with ancient tools like automake/autoconf encouraged us to move to cmake in kexi 2. I hope you will find it easier to build onc you start to use kexi 2 one day. -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek Kexi & KOffice (http://www.kexi-project.org, http://www.koffice.org) KDE Software Development Platform on MS Windows (http://windows.kde.org) _______________________________________________ Kexi mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kexi
