[Synfig-user] Can't get ETL to compile in Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy

[<lom...@gm...>]

Hi,
First, thanks a lot for open sourcing the program.
I've got a personal project I'd like to do in the next few months and 
wouldn't have use any non open source program (even free as in free 
beer). Not a zealot, just want to keep running the same apps wherever I 
chose to use them, whatever the OS or processor.

I'm quite a noob at compiling though. So beware for noobs questions !

I followed the instructions on http://wiki.synfig.com/Build_instructions

   1. svn co http://svn.voria.com/code/ETL/trunk/ ETL
   2. ./bootstrap
   3. ./configure
   4. sudo make install

First, for noobs like me, you could add a step between 1 and 2
1.2 cd ./ETL

(well, I managed to guess it eventually ;)
Second I'm faced with two errors
One at the end of ./bootstrap

bootstrap: Creating configure.in from configure.ac...
bootstrap: Setting up build environment...
+ aclocal -I /home/t3g/ETL/config
+ autoheader
+ autoconf -o configure
+ automake --foreign --add-missing --copy --include-deps
automake: configure.in: installing `config/install-sh'
automake: configure.in: installing `config/mkinstalldirs'
automake: configure.in: installing `config/missing'
automake: configure.in: installing `config/config.guess'
automake: configure.in: installing `config/config.sub'
test/Makefile.am:23: invalid unused variable name: `value_SOURCES'
test/Makefile.am:21: invalid unused variable name: `spline_SOURCES'
+ set +x
bootstrap: Failure.
bootstrap: Cleaning up...




Second one at the end of sudo make install :

make: *** Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible « configure.in », 
nécessaire pour  « configure ». Arrêt.
t3g@t3g:~/ETL$  sudo make install
make: *** Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible « configure.in », 
nécessaire pour  « configure ». Arrêt.
t3g@t3g:~/ETL$ sudo make install
make: *** Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible « configure.in », 
nécessaire pour  « configure ». Arrêt.

Thanks a lot for your help. I looked in the archived mails in the lists, 
but didn't get the answer. Btw, if somebody already made packages for 
Breezy, I'll be happy to know :) Else I can try to make some, provided 
it's not to hard for a noob...
