Description Adi Dascal 2002-10-24 08:21:20 UTC
The autogen.sh script of gnome-mag stops. The messages that are generated
from running this script are the following:

...............................

autoheader: No template for symbol `HAVE_XTST'
Running automake --gnu  ...
configure.in: 29: required file `./config.h.in' not found

...............................

mv: cannot stat `po/POTFILES': No such file or directory
./configure: po/POTFILES.tmp: No such file or directory
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating gnome-mag-1.0.pc
config.status: creating idl/Makefile
config.status: creating magnifier/Makefile
config.status: creating test/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: error: cannot find input file: config.h.in
(here it stops)

For my testing/usage I eliminated everything regarding "path to Xtst" from
configure.in and the body of the _get_x_cursors function from
zoom_region.c(added return NULL at the end). But this was a quick workaround.

What is the issue here?

missing acconfig.h file: I thought I'd checked this in!

Sorry, will be fixed in CVS as soon as my network connection works :-(

in the meantime create a file in the main gnome-mag directory
containing the single line,

#undef HAVE_XFT


Comment 2 bill.haneman 2002-10-24 12:02:59 UTC
fixed in cvs.
Comment 3 Adi Dascal 2002-10-24 12:03:32 UTC
The acconfig.h file should contain  

#undef HAVE_XTST

NOT #undef HAVE_XFT.

With #undef HAVE_XTST, I confirm that it's working for me.
