2.6.5 fails to build due to missing Makefile.global #232

Closed nelgin closed 2 years ago

nelgin commented 2 years ago

After downloading the source from https://archives.eyrie.org/software/inn/inn-2.6.5.tar.gz and uncompressing, I ran configure

./configure --prefix=/news --with-perl --with-python --no-create

After that, I went to make and got the following error.

make

Run ./configure before running make. See INSTALL for details. Makefile:1: Makefile.global: No such file or directory make: *** [Makefile:77: Makefile.global] Error 1

Below is the full output of configure in case I missed anything.

configure: Building INN requires the following dependencies to be met, besides a working compiler, a POSIX shell and GNU make, as well as Autoconf if you're bootstrapping the source code.

The names of the deb and rpm packages are given to help you find them quicker.

Mandatory (deb / rpm):

Please check the following files before running make, to ensure that everything was set correctly.

    Makefile.global
    include/config.h
    include/inn/options.h
    include/inn/paths.h
    innfeed/innfeed.h
