Building inetutils from 2000-11-07 CVS

[Richard Dawe]

Hello.

Out of curiosity, I just tried to build inetutils for the first time out
of CVS. Problems I encountered:

1. I get the following error when generating configure:

   configure.in:222: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow
   cross compiling

Nonetheless 'configure' is created.

2. I now run './configure --with-wrap --with-pam --prefix=$HOME', but I
get the following error:

   iolanthe:~/src/inetutils =] ./configure --with-wrap --with-pam \
   --prefix=$HOME
   loading cache ./config.cache
   ./configure: syntax error near unexpected token \
   `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(inetutils,'
   ./configure: ./configure: line 537: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(inetutils, \
   1.3.2f, nodef)'

NB: Line breaks indicated by backslash. I run 'aclocal', then 'autoconf'
and then the configure script at least runs.

3. The 'configure' script then complains about not being able to find
'install.sh'. "Borrowing" install-sh from fileutils 4.0w fixed that.

4. 'configure' then can't find config.sub. For good measure I got
config.sub & config.guess from latest CVS.

5. Now 'configure' is a happy bunny and runs all the way through...until:

linking ./headers/protocols/talkd.h to include/protocols/talkd.h
linking ./headers/tftpsubs.h to include/tftpsubs.h

Of course, 'configure' is right, there are no 'Makefile.in' files. Are
there supposed to be? Anyway, I invoke 'automake' and get:

iolanthe:~/src/inetutils =] automake
automake: configure.in: required file `./mkinstalldirs' not found
automake: configure.in: required file `./missing' not found
automake: Makefile.am: required file `./INSTALL' not found
configure.in: 37: required file `./headers/config.h.in' not found

6. Now 'configure' is an almost-entirely-happy bunny. It only complains
about headers/config.h.in now.

7. Now I try to build:

iolanthe:~/src/inetutils =] make
Making all in headers

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

make[1]: *** [daemon.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rich/src/inetutils/libinetutils'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I haven't looked at how to fix this yet, though.

Relevant info, I hope:

iolanthe:~/src/inetutils =] gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)
iolanthe:~/src/inetutils =] rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.1.3-15
iolanthe:~/src/inetutils =] cat /etc/issue.net

Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
Kernel 2.2.17 on an i586

BTW I did 'cvs -z9 CVSROOT=... update -d -P' to update the sources. The
last update was just before I sent this mail. I believe I have the sources
properly.

Was it something I said to upset my computer? 8)

Bye, Rich =]
