If I check out my project on another machine I am not able to simply execute
./configure && make. On my development machine I verified that I have
generated all files properly:
% cvs up
cvs server: Updating .
cvs server: Updating doc
cvs server: Updating python
cvs server: Updating src
cvs server: Updating test
% aclocal && automake && autoconf
% cvs up
? autom4te.cache
cvs server: Updating .
cvs server: Updating doc
cvs server: Updating python
cvs server: Updating src
cvs server: Updating test
On the remote machine, I execute cvs up followed by ./configure and make:
$ cvs up
cvs server: Updating .
cvs server: Updating doc
cvs server: Updating python
cvs server: Updating src
cvs server: Updating test

WARNING: `automake-1.6' is needed, and you do not seem to have it handy on your
system. You might have modified some files without having the
proper tools for further handling them. Check the `README' file,
it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing
this package. You may also peek at any GNU archive site, in case
some other package would contain this missing `automake-1.6' program.
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
If I execute "aclocal && automake && autoconf" on the remote machine I get
past configure into make. (I have a separate problem related to relative
#includes that keeps make from completing successfully, but I'll worry about
that later...)
I have a few questions. First, what's causing the "cannot remove" error
when the configure script is executed? Second, why does missing want to
execute automake? Third, after executing configure, cvs up reports several
unknown files:
? config.log
? Makefile
? config.status
? config.h
? libtool
? stamp-h1
? python/Makefile
? src/Makefile
? src/.deps
? test/Makefile
? test/.deps
None of them should be checked into CVS, should they?
Thx,
