Re: [Simulavr-devel] What is the correct procedure for building from CVS

[Bill]

Ths short answer is: "./bootstrap" is a script that is intended to 
generate the autotools scripts (i.e. configure and Makefile.in files, etc.)

I've recently added Klaus' start of documentation to the build, which 
apparently needs automake 1.8 or later. On my system I get automake 1.5 
if I don't invoke "automake-1.8" and "aclocal-1.8".

So that is what you will now see in the CVS boostrap script.

So I think the answer is:

1.) check that you have autotools installed (automake, autoconf and 
libtool). Automake 1.8 or later I think is required (at least if you 
want "make pdf" and "make info" to produce documentation, not sure about 
other scenarios)

2.) run ./bootstrap, or duplicate what is done in bootstrap, as your 
platform needs. (I run Gentoo, and automake is a script that uses 
various heuristics to figure out what version to actually run, I don't 
doubt this is quite different on different platforms)

3.) Now you should be able to ./configure...use as you would any other 
project. (i.e. ./configure && make && make install etc...)

I hope this helps.
