I sent diffs for src/exec/dxmods/Makefile.am
and for src/exec/libdx/local.mk back in the first half of December.
I haven't seen these changes, and I can send them again if needed.
I don't have write access to the CVS tree, as far as I know.
I also ran into trouble the first time I successfully built the
uipp/java stuff -- the files
src/uipp/java/server/server_DXServer.h and server_DXServerThread.h
wanted to be rebuilt for some reason (have looked but didn't find out why).
These are checked into the tree, and perhaps should not be.
I also had problems in the java area as I was getting all the configure
settings to find the various pieces needed to finish the build.
When one run of make made a successful call to javac or javah but
the next call failed, repeating the make would fail one step earlier
with a message that it was trying to write to an existing file.
I had to manually remove the partial results after each failed attempt
before I could continue. I haven't looked at the Makefile in question,
but it probably just needs a few more "$(RM) $@" lines.
Thanks,
