[OpenJade-devel] Building on MacOS X and current state of autoconf tools etc.

[Leigh S. <le...@to...>]

Hi,

I'm hoping to port the OpenJade system to MacOS X, on the assumption that 
because 1.3 doesn't build on MacOS X (or I assume other BSD like boxes), I'
ll need to work on the main code base branch.

However, coming into the project late, it seems autoinit.sh is no longer 
used to run the aclocal, autoheader, automake --add-missing, autoconf 
sequence to create the configure files (the file was deleted in the 
repository with the message "file autoinit.sh was initially added on branch 
opensp_1_5_branch."). Per the autoinit.sh script, running that sequence 
produces:

manray ~/SysDev/openjade/sp[65]> aclocal
aclocal: configure.in: 39: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library

manray ~/SysDev/openjade/sp[66]> autoheader
configure.in:53: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross 
compiling

manray ~/SysDev/openjade/sp[67]> automake --add-missing
automake: configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
automake: configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
automake: configure.in: installing `./missing'
configure.in: 34: required file `./ltconfig' not found
automake: Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'
automake: Makefile.am: required file `./ChangeLog' not found
Makefile.am:38: po/ja.po exists but `ja' not in `ALL_LINGUAS'

manray ~/SysDev/openjade/sp[68]> autoconf
configure.in:53: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross 
compiling
configure.in:65: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross

configure.in:66: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross

configure.in:67: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross

configure.in:71: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default to allow cross

autoconf: Undefined macros:
configure.in:41:AC_DEFINE_DIR(SP_LOCALE_DIR, datadir/locale, [location of 
message catalogs])
configure.in:69:AC_CXX_BOOL
configure.in:73:AC_CXX_MUTABLE
configure.in:74:AC_CXX_TYPENAME
configure.in:75:AC_CXX_NEW_FOR_SCOPING
configure.in:76:AC_CXX_PLACEMENT_OPERATOR_DELETE
configure.in:77:AC_CXX_DYNAMIC_CAST
configure.in:78:AC_CXX_NAMESPACES
configure.in:79:AC_CXX_EXPLICIT_INSTANTIATIONS

Obviously I'm missing something, but I'm not overly familiar with the 
machinations of the autoconf tools so I can't spot it. Anyone available for 
a little bit of hand-holding getting me compiling ok?

Thanks
