Re: Cannot build from non-svn sources

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

Hi Marco,

thanks, hopefully fixed in SVN 1202.

The buildtag.hh was actually contained in the tar file, but then removed (by mistake)
and not properly recreated when svn info failed.

Please let me know if the problem should persist.

Best Regards,
Jürgen

Hi,

I believe this was discussed previously, but it is not possible to compile GNU APL straight from the tar source due to buildtag.hh requiring an svn tag to exist, and the tar archive does not include svn information

$ ./configure
...
configure: creating ./src//buildtag.hh
svn: E155007: '/tmp/tmp.7tYePl5Ssi/trunk-git/src/Archive.cc' is not a working copy

src/buildtag:

...
ARCHIVE_SVNINFO=`svn info Archive.cc | grep "Last Changed Rev" \
                                     | awk -F : '{print $2;}'`
...

Not sure what the fix for this should be, but it's hard to package this up (on gentoo) when it requires the revision control data not shipped with the package to compile.
