Exult Forum

Hi all,

I've not been able to compile any snapshots for about a month now. With the latest one, I get as far as "sh autogen.sh" but "./configure" brings up an error (I hope I'm using the right commands):

./ltconfig: can't open input file: ./ltconfig
configure: error: libtool configure failed

Originally, when I decided to compile Exult for the first time, I downloaded and installed the tools automake, autoconf, libtool, SDL by myself (which worked), but was told by Fingolfin on #exult that I should have used Fink to install them (because it automatically configures them for my platform).

I decided to use Fink then to install the packages, and since then have not been able to compile Exult. I assumed that Fink would overwrite the tools I already had installed with its own versions, but I'm probably wrong here. What should I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance

try to get a hold of Fingolfin in #exult. As he is the only one working on the Mac port he is your best bet.

oh, I see, you finally got him

Fink doesn't overwrite anything you already have, as that would be a very bad thing indeed. It installs all its stuff into /sw by default. If you manually installe stuff before in /usr/local/, you may want to get rid of that.

Yes, problem solved, Thankyou!

If you get a chance, please try out the Mac OS X binaries of RC 1, if they work properly for you or not, and report your findings to me (best via email).
Thanks!
