[maemo-developers] Install newest version of automake
Hi all, i m trying to install version 1.9.6 of automake in maemo but i cannot do it for some reason. First i downloaded version 1.9.6 from the web. I extracted itto a folder and then i logged in to scratchbox. I went to the root directory of automake-1.9.6 (through scratchbox)and i run the following commands. 1. ./configure 2. make 3. make install. Then i run the command automake --version and i see that the automake version is still the preinstalled 1.8.5 instead of the one that i just installed. I did the same thing for the linux platform (outside scratchbox) and it worked fine. What i m doing wrong? Does anyone have any idea? ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Hi, Then i run the command automake --version and i see that the automake version is still the preinstalled 1.8.5 instead of the one that i just installed. Scratchbox will use host version of binaries if they exist. This is mainly for performance reasons, so they don't need to be run over ARM emulation or across network on real device, but there are sometimes also other reasons. If you want to override this, use something like: SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/automake Scratchbox actually offers you several versions of automake (1.4, 1.7, 1.8), you just need to use SBOX_DEFAULT_AUTOMAKE environment variable to select which one you want to use. For more info, see: http://www.scratchbox.org/wiki/EnvironmentVariables - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Hi, I think you are doing nothing wrong, but Scratchbox has a override mechanism for using host side tools when ever those are available. You can use SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE to switch this off so that your binary will be used. I hope this example will enlighten this a bit: [sbox-SDK_ARM: ~] /usr/bin/dpkg --version Debian `dpkg' package management program version 1.13.18 (i386). This is free software; see the GNU General Public License version 2 or later for copying conditions. There is NO warranty. See dpkg --license for copyright and license details. [sbox-SDK_ARM: ~] export SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/dpkg [sbox-SDK_ARM: ~] /usr/bin/dpkg --version Debian GNU/Linux `dpkg' package management program version 1.13.13 (armel). This is free software; see the GNU General Public Licence version 2 or later for copying conditions. There is NO warranty. See dpkg --licence for copyright and license details. First you will use actually host side dpkg from scratchbox even though you are inside armel target. When redirect ignore is set it will execute the actual armel binary. -- Miko Nieminen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
