[help-GIFT] Re: [bug-GIFT] I think your program has a bug ....

[Andreas Enge]

Hi, Wolfgang,

thank you very much for your fast and helpful reply. Trying to run the
script on an updated CVS checkout last evening (before you annonced major
changes, I think), I got an error message "bootstrap failed". There was a
file "configure" afterwards, but it ran into trouble as well and did not
create any makefiles. I am attaching the output since I have no experience
with auto-tools.

Concerning the gcc-3 compiler, I installed gcc-3.0.3 and could try to
build gift with it, but I will be too busy during the upcoming ten days or
so.

Best regards,

Andreas

This script generates a configure script for the GIFT
Use this if you have checked out the GIFT from CVS
This script will be using the following GNU tools:

Now you should be able to run ./configure
