It's true; destiny does not build easily on 12.04. It has been done, however, and there has been some discussion (along with some patches; etc.) on the mailing list.
I don't have any intention of fixing this myself, as none of us at Berkeley or ICSI use NOX-Classic anymore, nor do we recommend that anyone else does. If someone else would like to fix it and issue pull requests on github (http://noxrepo.org/git/nox-classic), I am happy to review them. -- Murphy On Jul 20, 2012, at 7:39 PM, Andreas Voellmy wrote: > I just got the destiny branch from git://noxrepo.org/nox and boot.sh fails. > It looks like the autoreconf command fails.
