Apologies, I didn't get to that yesterday.
Autoconf
Current version : 2.59
home : http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/
ftp : ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf/
Automake
Current version : 1.9.5
Home : http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/
-> http://sources.redhat.com/automake/
ftp : ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/
Libtool
Current version : 1.5.14
Home : http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/
ftp : ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libtool
I run the versions indicated above, and a quick look at
the URLs says they're the "right" ones.
Installation of all three tools is GNU standard :
tar xfvz autoconf-2.59.tar.gz
cd autoconf-2.59
./configure
make
make install
The last step obviously requires sufficient permissions on the
/usr/local directory hierarchy.
The ./CVSMake in LessTif's main directory takes care of running
these three tools, the result should be a configure script in
that same directory, and a bunch of Makefile.in files (one in
each directory).
Running the configure script of LessTif can be as simple as
./configure
but depends on your requirements. I usually run it from a script
which basically does
#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
/home/danny/Hungry/LessTif/SOURCE/configure \
--prefix=/usr/lesstif --disable-static --enable-shared \
--with-editres --with-xdnd --enable-verbose \
--enable-nonstandard-conversions --disable-production \
--disable-debug --enable-maintainer-mode
I have a couple of directories with different scripts which build
different versions of LessTif (e.g. I have one with dmalloc
linked in but I only use that type of stuff once a year or so).
