Build from source package requires synclibs.sh and autogen.sh? #29

Closed bgrundy closed 2 years ago

bgrundy commented 2 years ago

Prior releases had a working configure script. The current source tarball (libvmdk-alpha-20210807.tar.gz) requires synclibs.sh and autoget.sh prior to running ./configure. The documentation on the wiki indicates that those scripts should be used for building from git source.

Will this be a permanent change in building the source tarballs?

Prior releases had a working configure script.

They never did in git, have a look at https://github.com/libyal/libvmdk/wiki/Building#read-first

Also https://github.com/libyal/libvmdk/releases/download/20210807/libvmdk-alpha-20210807.tar.gz does contain a configure script make sure to download the right .tar.gz

Unfortunately the git source downloads cannot be disabled

The documentation you linked is what I was referring to. And you are correct - I was downloading the wrong tarball from the package assets. My mistake. Thanks for the prompt response.
