[Flightgear-devel] Problems Compiling

[John W. <ca...@mm...>]

Hi

I am having one bear of a time trying to get the development source from =
CVS to compile. The
main problems are:

1) a compilation error with the source in plib/ssg
2) an undefined macro "AC_SG_SET_COMPILER" running autoconf against =
Simgear
3) two undefined macros "AC_EXT_DAYLIGHT", "AC_EXT_TIMEZONE" in =
Flightgear.

In both cases autoconf exits without producing a set of makefile files.

Is it a link/path problem? (Looking at the files it does not seem to be)

 As a sanity check, I went back to the -0.7.8 baseline and
ran the build from the top aclocal, automake -a, and autoconf. I got the =
same autoconf
errors!! The difference with the released version is that the Makefiles =
are provided
in the tarred distributions so /.configure, etc etc works.

Is there a workaround? Is there a xxx .m4 file that I'm missing? I =
suppose I could
comment out the undefined macros and see what happens, but I would like =
a better
and saner fix.

As to the plib problem, I'll ping on the plib mailing list and see what =
happens.

Hope someone will help.

Regards
