Hi all,
I get a build error when I try to compile a repository working copy.
The build fails when it is trying to compile
generate_MaxMethodBodySize_h.cpp which is supposed to reside inside the
gen directory. I can not find any generated code inside gen directory. I
ran the generate.sh manually but had no luck. Am I doing something wrong
here or what?. I went through the docs, but could not find any hint.

I'm guessing this is a VPATH build? Andrew Stitcher discovered yesterday that
VPATH builds are broken in the way you describe. You can do an in-tree build
until this get fixed, or if you're an automake whiz it would be most helpful if
you could take a look yourself. I was a bit of an automake-dummy when we started
getting this build system together and the code generation parts in particular
still suck a little.
Actually I have the VPATH build working ok for many purposes. What is
broken AFAICT in VPATH build:
make checkbuild
make rpmbuild
Incidentally make rpmbuild is actually wrong in the in tree build as
well in that it doesn't run the system tests (the python/federation
test) as it can't find the python directory.
Danushka - I'd guess that you need to start with a sufficiently clean
tree (for some value of sufficiently)
Danushka - let us know if you dont get the build working (and let us know what
the problem was if you do.) I don't want people to be put of contributing by
such basic stumbling blocks.
