Question

I tried to build the toolkit under redhat but ./autogen.sh doesn't do anything.

I verified I have autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59 I log in as root and untar:

gpstk1.3]# ls -la total 152 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jul 30 09:57 .

drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Dec 1 17:06 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 792 Jul 30 09:57 NEWS

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4272 Jul 30 09:57 README

But autogen doesn't do anything:

gpstk1.3]# ./autogen.sh -bash: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory

Is there some basic thing I need to do?

Other info: gpstk1.3]# gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/3.4.6/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-java-awt=gtk --host=i386-redhat-linux

Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-8)

Please help.

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Looking at the directory listing above, it looks like you are missing the autogen.sh file. Where did you get this copy of the gpstk? autogen.sh is in the GPSTk 1.3 distribution as well as checked into the subversion repository. You could start with a fresh copy out of subversion or download the 1.3 tar. I have just done some cleanup of the make subsystem and it does work better now out of the subversion head. However it should still work in the older version. Another option is to use Jam for the compilation.

It also appears that Jam build subsystem is missing as well. See this URL for the files that should be in your top level directory and you will see what I mean: https://gpstk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gpstk/dev/

I got the tar ball from sourceforge whre I was directed from this page. Now I checked out the svn development verion and it seems to build fine right now. Thanks for your quick response.

Very odd. The gpstk1.3.src.tar.gz I looked at for the 1.3 release had these files. Did you download a binary compilation or the source code? The files for building and installing are in gpstk1.3.src\gpstk after I extracted the archive.
