Re: [Bug-gnubg] help re-establish gnubg

[Joseph Heled]

Thanks, but that is not the point. The makefiles don't exist yet. I
want to generate the setup from scratch.

This is what I found so far.

the problem is that the AM_PATH_GTK,AM_PATH_GLIB ... are not found. I
am assuming they where standard in the old days, but no longer part of
a modern autoconf macro set. I found them in gnubg/m4, but hard as I
tried to "include" them in acinclude.m4 (via the include directive,
and supply the path with a -I), aclocal complained about "file not
found". As a last resort I copied them verbatim to acinclude.m4, which
did the trick. I don't know why we bother, since no one runs gnubg
with pre 2.0 libraries anymore, right?

There are several other hurdels. The configure script decided I have
the BLAS/ATLAS libraries, but failed on compilation. I guess it's
checking is not good enough. And not giving a ./configure option to
ignore them is a crime. I manually undef'ed them  in config.h, but
that will be a pain in the long run.

Also FTGL failed to add the right include path to the makefile. I
added that manually for now.


I am only missing the 0.15 weights file. Can someone please make it available?
