Hi everybody, I'd like to summarize some of the things we've learned over the last three days:
1. The good news - most of the Builds have been repaired. NetBSD, Fedora, CentOS and some intransigent Debian derivatives build again. If you still run into problems, please make sure to produce a log files, so it can be looked at by using this sequence to build : make World 2>$1 | tee cde-make.log Please note: on BSD variants, you might need to build and use bash for the stderr->stdout redirection to work. If you want to investigate the log file yourself, search for the sequences *error: *and ****[ * to find any possible errors. Not all break the build, but will result in missing files during installation. One error that recently came up is the failure to build libcsa. If you see that error, your system lacks a tool called rpcgen. failure to build libcsa in turn breaks the build of the documentation files, which was the main reason for so many platforms failing to build. Speaking of which: I've tested between several platforms and could confirm that the documentation files are platform independent. That means we can take them out of the build process in the autotool conversion and just ship a pre-processed package. I'll prepare such a package over the weekend. Cheers, Danilo
