Unable to compile under freeBSD

[Marius]

Hello,

We are unable to compile the sources under FreeBSD.
In order to compile, we had to alter the autogen.sh to use the correct auto* commands. After that, we got the following error "configure: error: can not find sources in . or .." under FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE.

We tried to compile the sources under another system, Slackware Linux 9.1, and it worked flawless there.

Is there any solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Marius

There's probably a solution, but unfortunately I haven't really got any BSD access nor experience on the platform. You're pretty much on your own here - but I'm very willing to help where I can.

The only tip I can give is to make sure you've not got more than one version of autoconf on the system, and upgrade to the latest stable of autoconf and automake if possible.

I wonder if the lack of a 1.4 java on BSD may be part of the problem, as well.  I was wondering last week how lwjgl would work under "linux emulation" mode in BSD, too.  I don't have a BSD machine, either, but I do have the 5.0 and 4.8 install CD's laying around somewhere...
