Yes, I did read that section. However, we install packages in an area that is cross mounted to lots of different architectures. One implication is that we put the source in one place and install the results of the build somewhere else (using the --prefix and --exec-prefix options on configure). But, just to make sure, I tried going to the source tree and doing what the web page says: cd /swl/tmp/Thot/Amaya mkdir Linux-2.2-ppc cd Linux-2.2-ppc ../configure I get what sounds like an error from config: "Nor Amaya nor Thot package found, get the corresponding archive" As expected, when I run make with the above config I get: make[1]: *** [libThotEditor.a] Error 1 The prerequisite listed on the web page don't say anything about needing to install thot first. And, they don't say anything about how to point to thot if it is installed. -sp- Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 10:20:06 +0200 From: Irene Vatton <Irene.Vatton@inrialpes.fr> Cc: www-amaya@w3.org > I'm trying to build amaya on a Linux ppc and am experiencing > difficulties. > > First I tried: > > mkdir -p /swl/amaya-4.3.2/Linux-2.2-ppc > ./configure --prefix=/swl/amaya-4.3.2 --exec-prefix=/swl/amaya-4.3.2/Linux-2.2-ppc > make all As explained in http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/Autoconf.html due to configuration files (like unix-thot.rc) needed by Amaya compilers you have to build the application in a subdirectory of the Amaya hierarchy mkdir Linux-2.2-ppc cd Linux-2.2-ppc ../configure > > FAILED in > make[1]: Entering directory `/swl/tmp/Amaya/annotlib' > System wide unix-thot.rc not found at /swl/tmp/config/unix-thot.rc > External structure HTML > System wide unix-thot.rc not found at /swl/tmp/config/unix-thot.rc > WARNING: cannot open file en-libdialogue > ... > > > > I assumed this meant I needed to install thot.
