I just recently built boson 0.10 under 10.0 Official. Runs like a dog because I don't have a video driver with h/w acceleration support, but that's a separate issue. I ran into several version issues with autoconf and the related gnu build system programs. Mandrake installs by default ancient versions of these (2.13 of autoconf; 2.59 is the latest stable), apparently for backward compatibility with older programs. They seem to have forgotten about forward compatibility :^). If you install the latest, it actually installs a script that tries to choose the correct version, so I don't know why the don't do this in the first place. You also have to upgrade automake and aclocal. I don't remember exactly the errors I got. There was something explicit about having to upgrade autoconf, I think, but after that, and before I realized I had to separately upgrade automake and aclocal, I got a lot of weird messages. If you haven't upgraded all these, do it and see if it helps. Mine built successfully after all upgrades. Also, the various build steps weren't entirely clear to me from the web page. As I worked it out, I put them all into a script (I think for example that all the "make install"s have to be done after all the "make"s have been done). I've attached it here. Feel free to use this as you see fit. Hope this helps. -- Ron Hunter-Duvar ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine.
