Hi Michael,

I am sorry, I did not have time to get down to it earlier.

First, thanks for you contribution.

Second, see below for questions/issues.

Names like 'release' or 'cvs_diff' are a little bit unclear. Possibly longer
and more descriptive names would help.

Do you mean 'opencxx-2.6.0.tar.gz' ?

What is the purpose of uploading 'opencxx-2.6-install.tar.gz'? People should
be installing from 'opencxx-2.6.0.tar.gz', 'opencxx_2.6.0-1_i386.deb'
or 'opencxx-2.6.0-2-alien.i386.rpm' anyway, am I right?

Ok.

> alien

Again: why do we need this archive?

> opencxx-2.6.0-dist.tar.gz        -- the tgz created from make dist

Is this one different from 'opencxx-2.6.0.tar.gz' ? Why?

Have you comitted anything into CVS? If so, what?

If not, then sure we can build. I could build from CVS on Sun and Linux.

What versions of Autotools are you using? I could bootstrap and configure on
Sun and Linux with

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.53
automake (GNU automake) 1.6.2
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 (1.922.2.53 2001/09/11 03:18:52)

Possibly there was one problem with '])# AC_LTDL_ENABLE_INSTALL' (the one
you mention below), if it was, I fixed it by hand (It seems to me that I
reported it to maintainers some half a year ago, it should be fixed if they
have made release since then).

> *But you should provide an ltconfig.in!*

Correct me if I am wrong, but AFAIK 'ltconfig.in' is just a part of gcc
building mechanism. Existence of this file is *not* a precondition to
use libtool. Autotools docs never mention it (at least the versions that I
have). Thus I think we do not need ltconfig.in . Anyways, what is the
purpose of this file?

Did you copied any other files from gcc?

Yes, this is the only problem I had with Autotools. I just fixed each by
hand, each time after running ./bootstrap.

Precisely.

Now my experiences:

I downloaded 'opencxx-2.6.0.tar.gz' and tried to build, but I failed:

It looks like something around libtool is broken. Can you make sure that
you are bootstrapping with correct Autotools?

There is a script ./bootstrap in main dir, it calls Autotools components in
correct order. It should give diagnostics if anything goes wrong.
