I didn't know that miller is still providing dist tarballs (even when not using git to clone the sources, these days I mostly just grab the tarballs from GitHub...) in any case: this won't help much, as we are taking about a branch (on top of the last release) that has modifications to the build system (so configure and friends do have to be regenerated) > or do it on a separate machine yourself (not on the SGI) then copy the result > over via: make dist > yes that is what needs to be done. the dependencies to generate the build system are: autoconf, automake & libtool @Wolfgang you couldn't run autoreconf on the octane (which was kind of expected), but you got "similar errors" on your Linux box. without knowing the actual errors, I guess they were different enough and actually referred to a missing "libtool" installation (which I think is the most common mistake to make). as for`autoreconf` vs `autogen.sh`: the latter is really just a wrapper around the former that has some fallback mechanism to manually call `autoconf`, `automake`, `aclocal` & `libtool`. so if you can, you can also just run `autoreconf -fiv` *instead*. mfg.sfg.jfd IOhannes --- [email protected] - the Pure Data mailinglist https://lists.iem.at/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/message/VXWNOMIUOJFT5LP2M7ONCQ5FYCBNYNF4/ To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.iem.at/
