Re: [Enigma-devel] Problems building enigma with SuSE 8.1

Thanks (as well to Siegfried) - now it works. :)
BTW: Enigma runs much smoother using Linux.


I'm a bit confused about my installation. In order to get enigma
working I had installed automake 1.7.2 from source.
When calling autogen.sh it complains:
  aclocal: configure.in: 24: macro `AM_PATH_SDL' not found in library

I can fix this by doing
  cd /usr/local/share/aclocal-1.7
  ln -s /usr/share/aclocal/sdl.m4 .
or by doing
  cd /usr/local/share
  ln -s /usr/share/aclocal .

In both cases autogen.sh runs fine and then enigma builds properly.
Creating this link seems a bit weird to me - is there anything wrong
about how I installed automake?

Here's what my shares look like:

| abe:~ # ll /usr/share/
| drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          856 Mar 16 17:50 aclocal
| drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          864 Mar 13 16:01 aclocal-1.6
| drwxr-xr-x    7 root     root          224 Mar 13 16:01 autoconf
| drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root          584 Mar 13 16:01 automake-1.6
| .
| abe:~ # ll /usr/local/share/
| lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           18 Mar 16 20:08 aclocal -> 
/usr/share/aclocal
| drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          928 Mar 16 18:08 aclocal-1.7
| drwxr-xr-x    7 root     root          224 Mar 15 23:04 autoconf
| drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root          584 Mar 16 12:31 automake-1.7

How did you solve this?
