Sure can do, as soon as I figure out how it works. Why is "configure"
in the relase tar? Aside of confusing people that are used to
"./configure && make"...

So basically, I'd like to help, but I need more knowledge about the
stuff first.

Anyway, what's the usual procedure? I post diffs to plucker-dev?

However, the CVS does not contain either configure file, but only 
one autogen.sh, which does not create a configure script in the 
viewer directory. How can I compile the viewer?
	Run autogen.sh with your specific arguments, and it will 
generate a 'configure' for you (out of configure.in), and then it will 
bootstrap configure with your specific parameters. For example:

sh ./autogen.sh \
--prefix=/usr   \
--enable-palmosbuild\
--disable-gtkviewer \
--disable-docbuild  \
--disable-desktopbuild  \
--disable-explode   \
--enable-armlets\
--enable-wait_icon=thought-bubble   \
--enable-debug_labels   \
--enable-debug_log  \
--enable-gesture_debug  \
--enable-category=Unfiled   \
--enable-errorchecklevel=full

newbie problems

2004-10-12 Thread Christian Mautner
Hi, 

I have checked out the CVS version plucker today (I'm on Linux) and I
had some troubles compiling.

In the tar ball of version 1.8 there are two configure scripts, one in
the base directory, one in the viewer directory. Running the base
configure configures everything, and the build compiles just nice.

However, the CVS does not contain either configure file, but only one
autogen.sh, which does not create a configure script in the viewer
directory. How can I compile the viewer?

So what I did is use the configure scripts from the 1.8 version and
did
./configure --disable-annotation --enable-word-lookup
and then it compiles fine. (Haven't tried the prc yet though)

I'm reluctant to file a bug report on this as I'm not sure whether I'm
doing something wrong. 

BTW, there's some inconsistencies in the documentation:

"INSTALL" says:
> If you have downloaded a source package of Plucker, first running
> 'autoreconf' and then 'configure' ...

"REQUIREMENTS" says:
> To configure, do not run "configure" directly; instead, run the
> top level shell script "autogen.sh", passing it the options you would
> normally pass to configure.

autoreconf, autogen.sh, configure? 

thanks,
chm.
