Re: [Simulavr-devel] Trouble building master branch

[Raphaël Martin]

Hi Thomas,
you were right, that worked (also had to install swig though)
I still have the "TCL missing" warning. Haven't found yet which package is 
missing. 

As a reminder, here are the packages needed to install in order to build 
simulavr on a Debian Stable (Lenny) :
- for "stable" branch :
  $ apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev g++ binutils-dev autoconf gettext libtool 
git avr-libc binutils-avr gcc-avr make
- for "master" branch (in addition to stable packages) :
  $ apt-get install python-dev swig
  $ vi /etc/apt/sources.list (add deb http://www.backports.org/debian 
lenny-backports main contrib non-free)
  $ apt-get update
  $ apt-get install debian-backports-keyring
  $ apt-get install libtool (brings backported version 2.2.6, instead of stable 
version 1.5.26)
(maybe some required packages where already installed, but this server's 
installation was recent)

Not sure what's better about python. Enabling python through configure resulted 
in a compile error. Had to install python headers packages, then another 
compile error about missing swig.
So default behaviour would be to produce build errors on a common user 
configuration. I would say that working out-of-the-box is important.
If it's possible to enable it by default, but to disable it through autoconf if 
not all required elements are found on the system, this would be a good 
solution. Not an expert but shouldn't it be doable through autoconf ?
