Hello!
I would like to build a client called Boinc on OpenBSD3.7-i386 and it
has a dependency on Automake 1.9.3.
I'm newbie at compiling anything, especially on BSD, but usually there
isn't any problem if anything should
be builded from source, but not this time. The 'optionally' mentioned
'make check' does this:
=====================================
427 of 463 tests failed
(90 tests were not run)
Please report to bug-automake@gnu.org
=====================================
*** Error code 1
Stop in /root/automake-1.9.3/tests (line 799 of Makefile).
*** Error code 1
Stop in /root/automake-1.9.3/tests (line 829 of Makefile).
*** Error code 1
Stop in /root/automake-1.9.3 (line 256 of Makefile).
And if I continue with make && make install and finally try to build Boinc:
Bootstrapping configure script and makefiles:

Something failed .... please check error-message and re-run when fixed.
exiting...
I have gcc-3.3.5 as in OpenBSD3.7, and autoconf-2.59 added from OpenBSD
repository.
What else should i have? As I saw, autoconf is required and is recent
enough.
I didn't find anything else, maybe I need some OS-related update?
I found a version 1.4 of Automake in OpenBSD's packages, but Boinc could
not be compiled with it,
it says errors, kind of 'unsupported method' or so, because something
'is in directory'.
Ok, i'm sure that's because of the old Automake.
So it would be a great help, if anyone could say a word to this, or at
least a beginning with 'forget it on BSD' :)
Thanx!
