Hi, I tried compiling the current github head and get the following error in autogen (Linux Mint 11, autoconf 2.5): dale@dale-ThinkPad-T61 ~/Projects/mdbtools $ ./autogen.sh **Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.

I'm going to try re-compiling the old version again just to check what happens, but can anyone offer suggestions, or point out anything stupid I'm doing or not doing? Thanks, Dale |

Thanks Chris. On my FreeBSD-9.0 server, installing the glib2 port (v2.28.8) solved the problem.

Could I humbly suggest also adding glib2 to the list of required dependencies in the INSTALL file? (I've heard I can submit the change myself all through the Github web interface, but not sure exactly how. If you gave me a general idea.......) > -----Original Message----- > From: Nirgal [mailto:con...@ni...] > Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 4:51 PM > To: mdb...@li...; Dale Scott; Chris Craig > Subject: Re: [mdb-dev] autogen error compiling current version > > On Monday 16 January 2012 20:04:45 Dale Scott wrote: > > Thanks Chris.

I kinda disagree:
INSTALL documents the basic requirement for the build process to start:
libtool
automake
autoconf
But there are many more dependencies such as:
bison
docbook
flex
libglade2-dev
libncurses-dev
openjade
txt2man
unixodbc-dev
...
I think these should be detected by configure.
After commit 5269dbfd7a4ec82af1830cc88a35230638902d99, I think you will get this error message at configure time:
glib 2.0 is required by MDB Tools (runtime and devel).
It can be downloaded at www.gtk.org.
Am I mistaken?
If you still think we should change INSTALL, please send a patch against
https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools/blob/master/INSTALL
There are "raw" and "edit this file" links on that page.

I'm OK with INSTALL as-is. For some reason, I mistakenly thought it listed more than libtool, automake, and autoconf (which it doesn't). It is worth proposing a patch for the comment regarding libtool on FreeBSD? (FreeBSD 8.2 and FreeBSD 9.0 both use libtool-2.4). > -----Original Message----- > From: Nirgal [mailto:con...@ni...] > Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 12:37 PM > To: Dale Scott > Cc: mdb...@li...; 'Chris Craig' > Subject: Re: [mdb-dev] autogen error compiling current version > > On Friday 20 January 2012 14:27:52 Dale Scott wrote: > > Could I humbly suggest also adding glib2 to the list of required > dependencies in the INSTALL file? > > > > (I've heard I can submit the change myself all through the Github web > > interface, but not sure exactly how.

Yes, I suspect libtool comments are outdated for freedsb. If you have any sugestion of improvement, please share with us. For exemple, I guess aclocal.m4 contains mdbtools specific macros that are required on other platforms. Regarding glib2, I'm a real beginer with autoconf/automake/libtool and the pkgtools. So do take my opinion with care. I suspect my patch is not enough if you have glib2 installed, but not glib2-dev. So, we should find a way to detect it, or at least documented it in INSTALL exactly as you suggested. On Saturday 21 January 2012 20:43:58 Dale Scott wrote: > I'm OK with INSTALL as-is.
