building .so from CVS

[xeleh]

hello,

yesterday i checked out your project from sourceforge CVS and tried to build the .so library using the provided build.sh script (btw i'm using gcc 3.2 under debian woody 3.0)... but, oh! poor of me, after several lines i got this:

config.status: creating [config.h]
config.status: error: cannot find input file: [config.h].in
make: *** [stamp-h] Error 1

strip: .libs/liblwjgl.0.0.0: No such file or directory

then, if i renamed config.h.in to [config.h].in and execute build.sh again, i got another bunch of lines and finally this:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I.. -g -O2 -Wall -pthread -D_X11 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_01/bin/include -I/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_01/bin/include/linux -c org_lwjgl_opengl_ARBShaderObjects.cpp  -fPIC -DPIC -DPIC -o org_lwjgl_opengl_ARBShaderObjects.o

please, can you help me? thanks in advance.

Yes, Cas is working on some context stuff and he's not yet done with the linux part. He will eventually though, so you just have to be patient :/

Soon, soon...

Ok, I did it myself anyway, and it works for me now... Could you try again?

[xeleh]

it doesn't work for me...    i got the same problems i posted yesterday...

automake: configure.in: installing `./install-sh'
automake: configure.in: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
automake: configure.in: installing `./missing'
configure.in: 1113: installing `./config.guess'
configure.in: 8: required file `./[config.h].in' not found

why [config.h].in not found? ...
btw, can you give me a date for v0.9 release? i'll be patient...

[princec]

0.9 will be released by Easter.
Actually progress is excellent so far. Nearly everything we wanted to do is done AFAIK apart from Mac stuff.

[xeleh]

excellent news!  

[princec]

More roadmap news if you didn't know:

When 0.9alpha has been determined to more or less work, and not be missing any glaring functionality, it becomes 0.9beta and we will freeze the API.

At that point we will work all-out on Javadoc, tutorials, and the website to release 1.0 for JavaOne amidst a great fanfare :p

Did you try to build it manually? That is:

1. go to src/native
2. run ./autogen.sh
3. run ./configure
4. run make

step 1 ok, step 2 ok, step 3 ok, step 4-crash-   i get this:

btw, which compiler are you using??

[elias]

Ok, I tried to fix the compile error, so try again. Here's my gcc version:

elias@ip173:~/cvs/lwjgl/src/native> g++ -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.1/specs
