#18 m4ri download wrong

[Mate Soos]

I couldn't build because the hardcoded link to m4ri is wrong -- the porject has moved to bitbucket a long time ago. Also, once I updated the link, it dind't work. Besides, it uses an old m4ri. I'd be happy if the dowload just worked, though. Also, it defines PBORI_HAVE_M4RI_PNG (at line 970 in SConstruct) and that breaks the compilation. I copied the tarball to the source directory, it finds it then, but fails with: "
scons: *** [build/usr/local/lib/libm4ri.so] Source build/tmp/m4ri-20121224/configure' not found, needed by targetbuild/usr/local/lib/libm4ri.so'.
"

So that's not good. I copied the whole MR4I directory into m4ri-20121224 and then it did compile, but that's a huge hack Now it compiles.

Also, it installs m4ri libraries as well, which is not what I want -- I have a newer m4ri already (but it didn't get detected).

Looking forward to your response! Thanks for the library, it's a great tool :)

Hi Mate
Unfortunately, PolyBoRi is not being developed since all developers moved to different jobs three years ago. TheBRiAl project is a kind of inofficial successor: https://github.com/BRiAl/BRiAl brought to you by independent developers. They may have a solution. Anyway, the automated download had always been a workaround if the libM4RI package isn't available in the system.

Ah, what a shame. I liked it! I'll take a look at BRiAI, thanks!
