configure missing auxiliary file: compile? #83

Closed pchapin closed 1 year ago

pchapin commented 1 year ago

I'm trying to build libdnet from Git. I am getting the following:

$ ./configure
configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: compile

In fact, the auxiliary file compile is not in the config directory. My understanding is this file is only needed to support compilers that lack the -o and -c options. However, I'm using gcc which certainly does have those options. Is this something wrong with the configure script or something odd about my environment? I'm using Kali Linux. I'm unclear how I can best work around this.

Hey @pchapin I guess you're using the master branch. You're better off - if you compile from source - to use the devel branch. As soon as I find time, I'll merge the current devel into master and then master should be fine as well again.

Thanks, @ofalk, that was the problem. I was able to compile successfully from the devel branch.

Thanks @pchapin for the confirmation. The current master branch and the new release should also work fine now.
