[Playerstage-users] Problem building CVS

[Chad G. <ch...@mg...>]

I'm trying to get the irobot/create driver built, so I first tried to
build from the CVS.

There was no ./configure script so I tried to use autoconf. But I get
the following errors:

configure.ac:26: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
. . . (more errors)

I couldn't figure out what the m4_pattern_allow suggestion meant.

this makes a ./configure script, but then there is no install-sh
found, followed by no configure.sub, configure.guess, etc

I'm pretty new to all this, so I figured these where generic files and
copied them from the working 2.0.4 directory.
now ./configure errors out on
line 1925: syntax error near unexpected token `DARWIN,'
line 1925: `AM_CONDITIONAL(DARWIN, test, "x$darwin" = "xyes")'
which is back to the original error I assume.

Any ideas on what I did wrong?

I would try to just build the create drivers under the working 2.0.4
system, but I can't figure out how to add a new driver and the
tutorial that seems like it would cover it is still in a todo status.

If this has already been covered on the mailing list already, but the
search feature on sourceforge is giving a strange timeout error.

Thanks,
Chad
