Problems on building SN 4.5.2 (Solaris8/Intel)

Problems on building SN 4.5.2 (Solaris8/Intel)

[Steffen Hildebrandt]

Hello good morning,

I`m new to Solaris8 but I`m using SN 4.5.2 in my Linux-box.

I`ve a great problem on building SN 4.5.2 on a Solaris8/Intel-Box.

I installed the GNU-tools (gcc, binutils, automake, autoconf etc) and
set the search-path.

I`ve a directory /test2/SN452-source and i would like to build the SN
with these command line :

  cd /test2
  /test2/SN452-source/configure --srcdir=/test2/SN452-source

There is a error message :

  ...
  Configuring snavigator...
  configure: error: can not find source in
/test2/SN452-source/snavigator
  Configure in /test2/snavigaor failed, exiting.

Whats my problem? Are there any hints?

With best regards
Steffen Hildebrandt

You should not need the /srcdir argument. You should, however, set a 
prefix. I would do something like the following:

cd /test2
mkdir build
cd build
../SN452-source/configure --prefix=/test2/install
make all-snavigator
make install-snavigator

And I really recommend working with SN5.0; it's a lot better.

Hello Syd,

thanks for your answer.
I`ve tryed your scenario, but there was a problem on unpacking the
Source-tarball
(SN 4.52 and SN 5.0).
With gunzip and tar xvfi SN-source-tarball there was no problem to build
SourceNavigator.
