Hi -- Dumb question: I'm trying to figure out how to compile gnumeric and goffice, starting from a freshly cloned git repo.
I have gotten as far as figuring out the steps listed below. However, I am evidently missing a step, because a whole bunch of make-related files are not getting created. Could somebody please tell me the correct incantation for configuring and compiling stuff, in a freshly-cloned git repo, on a generic Ubuntu platform? The example below mentions goffice, but closely analogous issues pertain to gnumeric (just different missing files). I have ways of kludging around the problems, but there must be a more systematic, reliable, proper procedure. ################################################### # Here are the almost-correct steps, AFAICT: :; git clone https://github.com/GNOME/goffice :; sudo apt-get install libtool automake gtk-doc-tools :; if ! grep -q AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR configure.ac ; then awk '{print} /^AC/{if(!didsome){ print "AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])"; didsome++; }}' ./configure.ac > /tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ ./configure.ac fi :; libtoolize --force ### It says: ### libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. :; aclocal :; autoheader :; automake --force-missing --add-missing # many warnings: non-gnu extensions :; autoconf :; ./configure --prefix=/usr :; make :; make install Hat tip: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1258673 ###################################################### ## Uncreated files, using the steps known to me: gtk-doc.make goffice/Makefile.in plugins/Makefile.in plugins/plot_barcol/Makefile.in plugins/plot_pie/Makefile.in plugins/plot_radar/Makefile.in plugins/plot_xy/Makefile.in plugins/plot_surface/Makefile.in plugins/plot_distrib/Makefile.in plugins/reg_linear/Makefile.in plugins/reg_logfit/Makefile.in plugins/smoothing/Makefile.in plugins/lasem/Makefile.in mmlitex/Makefile.in po/Makefile.in.in tests/Makefile.in tools/Makefile.in docs/reference/Makefile.in _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list gnumeric-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
