Hi,

I would like to build a client called Boinc on OpenBSD3.7-i386 and it has a dependency on Automake 1.9.3. I'm newbie at compiling anything, 
especially on BSD, but usually there isn't any problem if anything
should be builded from source, but not this time. The 'optionally'
mentioned 'make check' does this:

=====================================
427 of 463 tests failed
(90 tests were not run)


Ouch.

And if I continue with make && make install and finally try to build Boinc:

Hmm, this smells like an old Perl version, but I'm not sure.


I have Perl v5.8.6 as a part of the OS, don't know how old is it.
I have gcc-3.3.5 as in OpenBSD3.7, and autoconf-2.59 added from OpenBSD repository. What else should i have? As I saw, autoconf is required and is recent enough. 

Probably GNU m4, take a recent one.


Yea I tried with it too, but it was the same. (m4-1.4 (GNU m4))


I didn't find anything else, maybe I need some OS-related update?
I found a version 1.4 of Automake in OpenBSD's packages, but Boinc
could not be compiled with it, it says errors, kind of 'unsupported
method' or so, because something 'is in directory'.  Ok, i'm sure
that's because of the old Automake.


I would not be so sure that is because of the old Automake.  Show the
exact failure and the commands and output that led to it.

So it would be a great help, if anyone could say a word to this, or at least a beginning with 'forget it on BSD' :) 

Should work all fine on BSD.

If you obtained a source tarball of your original package (Boinc) (as
opposed to a CVS version or such), you most likely should not need any
of Autoconf/Automake at all -- its created files should be within the
tarball.
It was the original source tarball first time and then I tried with the cvs-version too as you mentioned, but it was the very same. If I remove autoconf or automake, it just starts crying, so it needs them.

Ralf



Thanx for the help, as you see, i still need some :(
