Re: ORBit compilation problems, again

[Andrew Veliath <andrewtv usa net>]

Hmm.   ORBit will make after doing the following (for me, at least):

Install glib in --prefix=/opt/gnome, so that glib.m4 is in
/opt/gnome/share/aclocal/glib.m4 (I don't include ../glib for
ACLOCALL_FLAGS, I don't want spurious acinclude.m4s).

cvs co ORBit ; cd ORBit

ACLOCAL_FLAGS='-I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal' ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome

Which eventually gives me:

libIDL configuration complete

  C Preprocessor: "gcc -E"
  Standard input supported.

Now type 'make' to compile ORBit.
