Subject: Installation from git did not proceed cleanly?
Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 06:49:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E81AA25.6090907@start.ca> (raw)
Hi, a few observations on installation from git repository on a
reasonably fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.4. (Previous installations from
tar.gz have all run correctly first time.)
1. Fetching the clone from the temporary repo not a problem
2. ./configure instruction from README/INSTALL did not work, no
configure found
3. Found a related advice to run: aclocal, autoheaders,automake and
autoconf and ran these
4. repeated automake with --add-missing - this added several programmes
but was not able to deal with missing ltmain.sh
5. I copied ltmain.sh from my previous install of version 4.96, this
allowed configure to proceed a bit further, ran into problems with
"package_revision" number in ltmain, hand edited
6. Also a problem with missing Makefile.in - copied from 4.96 - bad way
to proceed but nothing ventured...
7. ./configure, make, make install all ok from this point.
8. restart of bluez-coldplug service ok.
Result: bluetoothd is working as before. It reports version as 4.96.
However expected patch for previously reported problem still produces
same error, so my install may be bad.
Please advise where I went wrong so that I and others can do it
correctly next time. Any need for additional instructions in INSTALL?
