GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 362006
MSWindows auto-installer install.sh, error at gnucash part
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:13:41 UTC
Please describe the problem: Installing Gnucash on windows XP as per http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows#Instructions_for_.28almost.29_automated_Build most of the process seems to have worked fine (in that the installer has got up to the Gnucash part (?I assume that means the prerequisites are done?). have got the Gnucash note: Please ignore the output of glib-gettextise above! part Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, '..' cp: cannot create regular file 'po/Makefile.....etc intltoolize: cannot copy '/c/soft/gnome/........etc **Eror**:intltoolize failed. Steps to reproduce: 1. follow instructions for install.sh 2. 3. Actual results: the above as described Expected results: Does this happen every time? only done once installer took many hours... Other information: apologies i don't really know much about this and don't expect a detailed reply as to what i should do, I just mention it in case it is something that helps you help others. I can give more details if asked, but don't really understand the linux side of things....
I am not sure whether we want to deal with these problems at bugzilla or the gnucash-devel mailing list right now, reassigning to cstim to call in our win32 guru :D Thanks for trying out the mingw compile, we need you :) Everything you have compiled yet will not bother you the next install.sh run, it will simply skip this task then. But I think the script failed to execute ./autogen.sh (./ is needed, because the current working directory is not in the PATH of executables). You might try to open the MSYS shell and cd (change directory) to the repository and execute ./autogen.sh by yourself. If that fails again, enter "/c/soft/gnome/bin/intltoolize --force --copy" and make it fail again (echo $? should something non-zero). I suppose I cannot help you much further without additional information. You may have some permission problems, but I do not know. Maybe you can find it out or cstim knows better.
You have to give us the exact copy of the output after the "Gnucash note: Please ignore the output of glib-gettextise above!" message. Also, what are your directory settings - where is your gnucash source code and from where did you execute install.sh? Does any of these paths contain a space? If yes, then that's the problem. Apart from my guess, please give the full message that is shown here (including all path names): Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, '..' cp: cannot create regular file 'po/Makefile.....etc intltoolize: cannot copy '/c/soft/gnome/........etc Thanks.

Can you please show us the content of the /c/soft/repos directory? I think it's missing the po/ subdirectory, because that would explain the cp error message. Maybe the "svn checkout" didn't work? @Andi: maybe we need to add some more checks about whether the svn checkout actually worked correctly?

Weird. intltoolize tries to use '..' as base directory, i.e. /c/soft/ instead of /c/soft/repos, and since that one (correctly) doesn't have a subdirectory po/, the copying fails. I now really wonder where this AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR came from, because it doesn't appear in any of the gnucash-SVN code. Please give us the output of the following: cd /c/soft/repos grep AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR * (A screenshot is one possibility, but the other possibility is simply marking the text in the window by the left mouse-click, and then pressing "Paste" here.) Apart from this, running ./autogen.sh doesn't work because the PATH doesn't contain the directory entries of all the autotools. Instead, please simply run install.sh again and maybe post the output here.

*sigh* Thanks for the output. As you can see, there is no AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR in gnucash. Also, as expected ./autogen.sh alone doesn't work, whereas install.sh does. But as long as intltoolize says Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, '..'. this won't work, unfortunately. Hm, maybe this is because you have called install.sh from the '..' directory (/c/soft)? What happens if you move the install.sh and custom.sh to e.g. /c/soft/scripts ? But unfortunately we have to tell you that the latest SVN-Trunk version currently won't compile anyway on Windows due to the transition from g-wrap to swig. Currently you have to comment out the step "svn_up" in custom.sh, execute in /c/soft/repos this: svn up -r15007 and then execute the install.sh again, but as suggested from a different location. Does that work? We only need the output after the last ######## marker :-)

Ok, thanks. So finally I have no clue about this weird AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR and why intltoolize cannot be forced to ignore it. You could try to create the directory /c/soft/po/ and see what happens then on install.sh (and copy its content to /c/soft/repos/po/ later). As for svn: If you get "svn: command not found" then you need to specify the full path, i.e. /c/soft/svn/bin/svn -r15007 because, as I said, the SVN version larger than 15007 unfortunatly won't build on windows.
Actually, when you tried "I also did the suggested moving install and custom.sh to a new folder called 'scripts'," did you really *remove* the file install.sh from the /c/soft/ directory? If not, please remove the install.sh there and try again. @andi: Look into the intltool program, lines 168ff: # Try to discover auxdir the same way it is discovered by configure. # Note that we default to the current directory. for dir in . .. ../..; do if test -f $dir/install-sh; then auxdir=$dir break elif test -f $dir/install.sh; then auxdir=$dir break fi done This sucks, royally. But we can get around this by creating a dummy "install-sh" file in the gnucash repository...
Should be fixed when using the install.sh from SVN r15037, which creates an empty file /c/soft/repos/install-sh before calling autogen.sh. Does that work?
Damn, what a nasty bug. Well spotted, Christian, Kudos to you :) Confirmation desired still.
Apologies for the delays. I will now go through the last four replies and give my response to each of them: #10: Suggestion: create /c/soft/po/ Response: This is already present with just Makefile.in.in in it. S: copy its contents to /c/soft/repos/po R: There is already a Makefile.in.in in that folder, which is different. I moved the existing and copied in the /soft/po Makefile.in.in Ran install.sh from /soft again to see if this made any difference. As far as I can tell (simply from the size of the files) the old makefile.in.in was put back in the /repos/po.

I assume this is not totally fixed (or is that it now)? Rather than address the next couple of points, thought I would send this for your comments.... Cheers, Patrick
Great! See http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2006-October/018868.html for your current issue (svn revert configure.in in the repository). I will close this now, because the initial bug has been fixed. Feel free to open new ones for new issues or discuss them on the gnucash-devel mailing list (preferred IMHO). Good luck!
