Re: [Fwd: CVS and compiling for FreeBSD]

Todd,

Where's what I have so far:
- Running FreeBSD 2.2.8
- Used CVS to pull the lastest version of GNOME
- Downloaded autoconf version 2.13 and installed along with M4 1.4
- Then started with an attempt to start to compile the process.
- Next tried to create a "configure" file to create the Makefile so here is what I
did
$ cd glib
$ autoconf
