Can't compile under Debian Etch

Hello.

I have a problem with compiling Desmume 0.8 in Debian Etch.
When i'm trying ./congure, i get this:

----------------- cut -------------------------------------
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing intltool commands
config.status: executing po/stamp-it commands
config.status: error: po/Makefile is not ready.
----------------- cut -------------------------------------

If then i try "make", there are no errors, but it doesn't produce any executables.
As far as i know, i have all the needed libs installed. So.. where is the problem? Does anyone have any idea? Thanks beforehand!

WBR, Eugene.

Re: Can't compile under Debian Etch

It seems you're missing libraries to compile the frontends.
Try installing libgtkglext1-dev and libglade2-dev and compile again.

About the configure problem, I already had the same error and I'm not sure to really understand what happens here
Anyways, I think it's related with some syntax in our configure.ac file only understood by recent automake.
Try this:
- install automake1.10 package
- run ./autogen.sh in directory containing the configure.ac file
- run ./configure again

Hope this helps

Re: Can't compile under Debian Etch

Dear guillaume,

i'm already have libgtkglext1-dev and libglade2-dev installed, so this is not the cause of failure. Also, i see all the depends, which Desmume has (in Debian Lenny) - and i have all needed libs installed.
I have automake1.10 installed. Trying to run autogen.sh leads to this error:

configure.ac:190: required file `${PO_MAKEFILE}.in' not found
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

So.. any more ideas? :-(

WBR, Eugene.

Re: Can't compile under Debian Etch

I'll install a "clean" debian etch in a qemu to see if I can reproduce the problem and fix it... gonna update this thread when it's done

Re: Can't compile under Debian Etch

I did installed Debian Etch and did reproduced the problem. I fixed it by installing libsdl1.2-dev

(ok... I really should fix that configure script before the next release...)

Re: Can't compile under Debian Etch

Dear guillaume,

thank you very much for your reply. I've installed lbsdl1.2-dev and Desmume compiles perfectly. Btw: it should be useful to add to configure script a function, that let user know what libraries the program needs.

WBR, Eugene.
