Problems Building on Linux

[Jonathan J. <jo...@re...>]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to building Quesa, but the changes to how it builds 
between d17 and 18 are causing grief here. Here's what I do:

localhost fishy # tar -xzf quesa_1.6d18.tar.gz
localhost fishy # cd quesa_1.6d18
localhost quesa_1.6d18 # cd Development/
localhost Development # cd Projects/
localhost Projects # cd Unix/
localhost Unix # cd Scripts/
localhost Scripts # sh prepareUnixTree.sh

At this point, it doesn't do anything. If I modify prepareUnixTree.sh 
and remove the "|| exit" statement from the first pushd statement, it 
then does this:

localhost Scripts # sh prepareUnixTree.sh
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Source 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Examples 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Examples/Models 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Examples 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Examples 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts

That makes sense! So, now I try "sh buildUnix.sh", and I see nothing 
happen. So I do the same removal of || exit that I do in 
prepareUnixTree, and I get this:

localhost Scripts # sh buildUnix.sh
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix 
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts

/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
/home/fishy/quesa_1.6d18/Development/Projects/Unix/Scripts

I have no idea what's going on now. I'm not familiar with the whole 
automake or autoconf procedures, so forgive me if I've forgotten 
something silly. What have I done wrong, or what should I be doing?

Thanks,
Jon
