SDL: Makefile.in error...

[Leo28C]

Hello everyone!

Forget my previous post about asking for SDL in a folder, now I realize that's not possible...

Now, I can't get SDL installed. It gets to ./autogen.sh fine, but then ./configure gives finishes with this error:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in

Anyone know why this is happening? I'm on Cygwin (latest version I believe?) on Windows XP Pro SP2, with Automake 1.9b and the Toolchain of 2006/01/20... I got SDL rev. 2134 from svn.pspdev.org. I also installed zlib and libpng.

Can anyone help me? I have no idea why this is happening, I asked like 3 different forums but nobody was able to help me... Any ideas? Thanks!

(PS: On one of the forums, someone said that Makefile.in was supposed to be made by autogen, but that ended with the (I believe) successful message "Now you are ready to run ./configure"... It did have some warnings, but should I worry about those?)

If it says you are ready, then you are ready. Weird warnings pop up a lot, but are nothing to worry about. Only worry about warnings labeled "error:". Just configure it and make it and it should work fine.

Configure and make it? You mean ./configure and make commands? That's the problem, I get the error at the end of ./configure...

I did, in fact that WANT_AUTOMAKE thing was one of the first things they suggested... After I told them that I still had the error, he replied like, "You did exactly what I said and it still doesn't work?"... It's a mystery...

And I do have automake 1.9b, --version says so...

Anything else that might be not working? Any dependencies?

Thanks!

I had something similar (if not the very same, I mean...) but I noticed the script was missing some files, such as AUTHORS, and whatsoever...
I just added (empty, or so) files with the names I saw, and I was able to get the Makefile.in created.

HTH

Just my 2c

Cheers, A.

And where did you get those filenames from? (me <-- n00b )

Thanks!

[MrMojo]

files I got from you??? RTFM???

what the hell r u talking about?

I got the script sayng few error messages, among those I've seen:
cannot find AUTHORS
cannot find CHANGELOG
cannot find blablabla...

and then I created them, just empty, but to be there and all went fine.

so if you meant something else with your RTFM thing, please explain, as I don't get you.

Cheers, A.
