Building smuxi from tar archive is not possible

doppioandante commented 7 years ago

Hi, I'm building smuxi from the source code (version 1.0.7). There are two issues that I have found so far:

autogen.sh is not included
all the dist-* targets apparently use git to retrieve a version string, but I don't think that git should be required as a dependency to build smuxi (moreover, there's no .git folder that it could use).

EDIT: I managed to build by patching Makefile.am and copying the autogen.sh file. The latter also uses git, but running NOGIT=1 make dist-linux-static avoid calling it.

One thing that I noticed is that I had to manually copy log4net and Nini inside the lib/ folder, but they should be easily found through pkg-config.

Release tarballs usually never contain autogen.sh as you only need to run ./configure and then make and make install.

The dist-* make targets are for upstream packaging only.

log4net and nini are automatically detected via pkg-config

Thanks, I think I did something wrong with the configure step regarding log4net and nini, closing. If you are interested in an arm static build, I now have one.
