autogen.sh not working

neok · 2013-01-07 15:32:42

Hi,

(Editing original post) The build scripts and files, as generated by Glade2 for some applications I wrote a few years ago, appear to be incompatible with the latest versions of automake/autoconf. As I always relied on Glade2 to build my programs, I have no experience of setting up the necessary files manually for autogen.sh to work.

I would appreciates any hints on the path to follow and documentation to read on setting up build tools "manually".

My thanks in advance.

Are we supposed to guess what these are?

[pet-peeve]could you remove the "please help:" from your title? It serves no purpose - or if any purpose it only suggests that you think your issue is more worthy of help than all the others on the forum.[/pet-peeve]

One of the best autotools articles I've found is http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/boo … ke_libtool.

Thank you very much, rockin turtle! Excellent article and good starting point. I just want to update some of the apps I have written, as a self-taught amateur, a long time ago and which are now becoming incompatible with the new developent tools and libs.
