[Bug 18322] New: Cannot recreate "configure" script
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18322 Summary: Cannot recreate "configure" script Product: Wine Version: 20050930 Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: build-env AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: contact(a)philipashmore.com I'm trying to create a paired-down version of Wine that contains only the registry and COM framework (no GUI) from Wine. I'm calling this project "v3c-com" for want of a better name, and it's purpose is to act as a development framework/runtime for COM development under GNU/Linux, ideally with DCOM interoperability with Windows. As a first step I modified the configure.ac script: 1. package name change 2. remove configure arguments 3. remove programs and dll targets 4. Recreate "configure" - but how? I tried just deleting the "configure" script and running tools/wineinstall... $ tools/wineinstall Wine Installer v1.0 Running configure... configure: error: cannot find sources (server/atom.c) in . or .. Configure failed, aborting install. I've indented the output for readability. Let me repeat - I deleted "configure" so what's tools/wineinstall running??? I also tried running automake, but it's giving bizarre messages - probably because aclocal.m4 isn't generated by autoconf, but it's just a guess. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

I can see that I haven't succeeded in making the problem abundantly clear so let's try again. 1. I want to build a package based on Wine 2. I need to modify configure.ac 3. I need the existing Wine source distribution to be able to recreate the "configure" script from a changed configure.ac I'm stuck at (3) above because it requires that the existing Wine source distribution is able to at least recreate the configure script from an _unmodified_ configure.ac I'm running Debian Lenny amd64. To test this yourself, go through the following steps. Obtain the source bzipped tar ball "wine-1.1.20.tar.bz2" into a directory writeable by you as a normal user and run the following bash script mkdir tmp # You need these otherwise (like me) wineinstall will look cd tmp # for "configure" in the _parent_ directory of wine-1.1.20 tar -xjf ../wine-1.1.20.tar.bz2 cd wine-1.1.20 rm configure # We're testing that wineinstall will re-generate this tools/wineinstall Like me, you should get Wine Installer v1.0 You're running this from the wrong directory. Change to the Wine source's main directory and try again. It looks like wineinstall doesn't even try to regenerate configure. As for reading the documentation, which version? I got "Autoconf, Automake and Libtool" from http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook-1.5.tar.gz In chapter 8 of this book there is a section called "bootstrapping" that indicates that how you get to the point of running configure is a matter of taste - the options offered were "autogen.sh", "bootstrap2, "autoreconf" and "AM_MAINTAINER_MODE", non of which are available in the Wine source distribution. I also noticed that "aclocal.m4" is hand-written, not generated from configure.ac by aclocal, and this would lead me to the conclusion that Wine is a non-standard Autotools project and therefore might have a non-standard means of re-generating "configure". Sure, I can "try" running autoconf and see if that works, but gee I thought it might be nice if you could please tell me how you did it, so I can do it the same way! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Why shoud it do that?
You need to tell me (I promise I won't tell anyone else) the _exact_ procedure that I need to follow to recreate configure.
man autoconf?
There's no point telling me that "Wine has no any problem with generating configure from configure.ac" when you don't tell me what commands to use to generate it.

Geez that was a tough one! When running autoconf, do I need to supply any flags? I checked out "man autoconf" like you suggested and there are loads of them (flags, that is). By continuing to ask the same question without getting a precise answer, I have to ask myself - with regards to Wine: Is there a written offer for source that's incomplete in some way? I would have to answer "yes". You could help me answer "no" in one of two ways. 1. Paste the command line you use into a script called "bootstrap" 2. Documenting the bootstrap procedure and include it with the source code If you insist on pussy-footing around than you (not me) are making a case for a GPL and therefore LPGL violation. See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.html for details.

2. Documenting the bootstrap procedure and include it with the source code
$ rm configure && autoconf && ./configure works fine here. tools/wineinstall does not generate configure, since configure is kept in tree, e.g., AJ runs autoconf whenever configure.ac changes. If you're changing the wine source in some way, you can add that change to wineinstall, nothing's stopping you... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
