Title: Building C::B from SVN is a problem.
Post by: Ptomaine on February 23, 2007, 04:08:42 am
1) I've downloaded the latest SVN.
2) ran a ./bootstrap (it completed with no errors).
3) ran ./configure ... and in a few moments it's displayed an error: "cannot find file: Makefile"

I've checked it out and found Makefile.in and Makefile.am at its places. No "Makefile"s were generated.

any solutions will be appreciated.

Sure, they are. Otherwise bootstrap should print an error.
(I'm using openSuSE Linux 10.2 x86_64)

This is the exact term output:

I'm not sure whether this could be the cause or not but your pc has wx-2.8.0 by default. Officially C::B does not support wx-2.8.0.

You can try typing the following command (Based on the solution posted in http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=5247.msg40910#msg40910 )-
Code
./configure --enable-contrib --with-wx-config=wx-config-2.6

Don't flame me if that doesn't work. ;)

.infig.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile

Your files have DOS line endings instead of unix. This is the problem. Did you copy the source code from a windows machine? If yes, it doesn't work that way. Checkout a new copy from svn...

Yes, you're absolutely right!
Thank you ever so much!

C::B perfectly compiles under wx-2.8.0 with a few corrections of some files in the wxSmith plugin.
wx-2.8.0 has backward compatibility macro definitions for wx-2.6. C::B compiles almost flawlessly even without setting that macro.
