[Adonthell-devel] For information: Compiling issues

[Kess Vargavind]

Hello Kai et al.!

It was some time since I last compiled Adonthell, so I decided to test
both automake and CMake.
Tested everything from scratch and updated to latest packages in
debian testing (some may be from unstable).


AUTOMAKE

Automake without the devtools works like a charm, enabling devtools
gives an issue with libgtest though.
I haven’t checked this further:

  checking for libgtest... no
  configure: error: Package requirements (libgtest >= 0.4.0) were not met:

  No package 'libgtest' found

I have libgtest-dev 1.6.0 from debian testing installed:

  $ whereis libgtest
  libgtest: /usr/lib/libgtest.a /usr/lib64/libgtest.a


CMAKE

The CMake build stops earlier, complaining about not finding swig.
I haven’t checked this further:

  CMake Error at config/FindSWIG.cmake:51 (MESSAGE):
    Swig was not found on the system.  Please specify the location of Swig.
  Call Stack (most recent call first):
    CMakeLists.txt:231 (find_package)

I have swig 2.0.4 installed from debian testing:

  $ whereis swig
  swig: /usr/bin/swig2.0 /usr/bin/swig /usr/bin/X11/swig2.0
/usr/bin/X11/swig /usr/share/swig2.0


I did not check into these errors any further since I at least got
Adonthell to run with autotools in the first try and I since I am not
that well traversed with make scripts.

Wishes for continued good work!
