Re: [mdb-dev] Building Without Gnome

[Dane S. <bl...@ha...>]

Hi Rich,

try:

--disable-gmdb2

Also, from reading the list archives it seems that there is good  
reason to checkout from cvs (which requires building with autogen and  
getting libtool, automake, and autoconf)

My build process was:

downloaded and compiled unixODBC, iODBC, libtool, automake, autoconf  
(and glib and pkg-config since I have a wierd setup) then:

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@md...:/cvsroot/ 
mdbtools login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@md...:/cvsroot/ 
mdbtools co mdbtools
cd mdbtools
./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/dspringmeyer/usr/local --with-iodbc=/home/ 
dspringmeyer/usr/local --with-unixodbc=/home/dspringmeyer/usr/local -- 
disable-gmdb2

In the configure output I get:
....
checking for GNOME... configure: gmdb2 disabled
....

which I think is what you are looking for, since gmdb2 is (at least  
one of) the gui(s)


Cheers,

Dane
