[ccmtools-devel] HelloWorld falls silent

[Darrell S. <dr...@nr...>]

Hi,

I've been looking at CCM tools/frameworks, and I got interested in 
ccmtools. However, I can't make the simple hello-world example in the 
tutorial work. Attached is a log of my errors, but the one that has me 
stopped is:

        Cannot determine build directory because root of package 
compilation tree (aka BUILDROOT) not specified
        The ccmtools environment cannot be installed from 
/tmp/ccmtools-cpp-environment.

I can get it to put all of this stuff somewhere else by setting the TMP 
(or TEMP) environment variable (surely there's a better place/way), but 
still the same error persists. Setting BUILDROOT is no help, and it 
seems to ignore ~/.confix completely.

This isn't exactly a "typical" install... I created RPMs... first for 
ccmtools, and then for confix (when ccmtools seemed to need it). These 
are available at ftp://ftp.cv.nrao.edu/aips++/development/rpms/noarch/. 
Perhaps I'll have to back out and try to get the regular install to work 
first... here are the RPMs that are being used (I believe):

        antlr-2.7.2-3jpp
        confix-1.3.pre21-2ds
        automake-1.6.3-5
        ccmtools-jdom-0.3.2-1ds
        ccmtools-doc-0.3.2-1ds
        autoconf-2.57-3
        ccmtools-0.3.2-1ds

(note that ANTLR is coming from jpackage!). Can anyone provide any 
suggestions? I'd really like to give this a try.

many thanks,
Darrell
