[Flightgear-devel] Problems with 1.99.5

2008-12-03 Thread Jon Stockill
Anyone else having issues building this?

I'm getting:

config.status: error: cannot find input file: utils/propmerge/Makefile.in

When trying to build a clean extract of the source tarball.

I think this is fixed now in cvs, but nothing will happen until a new
tarball is generated (using make dist)

Regards,

Curt.

I haven't seen any problems with CVS recently, but I was just updating 
my build script ready for a release and so was running it against the RC 
tarballs.

Just out of interest which version of OSG are people planning to link 
the release against? Are we going to wait for a 2.8 release, or go with 
one of the 2.7 developer releases?

There can be subtle differences between what you get on a cvs checkout or
update versus what you get from make dist and the resulting tarball.
make dist only knows about what is referenced in the Makefile.am's ... so
it's possible to add a .h file (for instance) to cvs or a new directory
without providing the proper references in in the Makefile.am files and the
files will be there in cvs, but not in make dist ... it seems like I often
catch a couple of these for each new release.  I'm not horrified though
since there are a lot of subtleties in the automake/autoconf system that I
wouldn't expect every developer to fully understand.

Just out of interest which version of OSG are people planning to link
 the release against? Are we going to wait for a 2.8 release, or go with
 one of the 2.7 developer releases?


I have a problem building a dependency against some development version of a
library which is only available from cvs (note the mess that openal can
often be on many platforms)

OSG is a little bit better in that there is a real tarball with a real
version we can download and build against ... even if it's not an official
stable release.

Regards,

Curt.

Looking at previous OSG release dates (2.2 October, 2.4 April, 2.6 August) the 
next release cannot be that far away, so it might make sense to wait. And 
maybe they would consider releasing soon if nicely asked?

That's why I suggested the developer release rather than 
cvs/svn/whatever else they may use. I think there *are* now issues with 
building against a 2.6.x release.
