Description Unknown 2001-09-06 04:52:04 UTC 
I am running the latest OO source from CVS. I do all config_office
stuff. Then I go to SRC_ROOT and do ./bootstrap. I get:

   ...
   creating dmakeroot.h
   cd . && aclocal
   aclocal: couldn't open `aclocal.m4' for writing: Permission denied
   make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 13
   cd . && aclocal
   aclocal: couldn't open `aclocal.m4' for writing: Permission denied
   make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 13
   cp: /storage/files/office/dmake/dmake: No such file or directory
   dmake: Command not found.             

I look at the linux section of bootstrap and see that for building dmake
the following is done:

   autogen.sh;configure;make;make install

So I go to the dmake directory. I notice that the permissions on aclocal.m4
are:

   -r-xr-xr-x   1 forsberg users        3743 May  4 10:47 aclocal.m4

PROBLEM #1 aclocal.m4 should be stored in CVS with write permissions. When
I execute autogen.sh and configure in the dmake directory no problems. 
I type make and:

   office/dmake> make
   cd . && aclocal
   aclocal: couldn't open `aclocal.m4' for writing: Permission denied
   make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 13     

I change persmissions on aclocal.m4 to give me write permissions and:

   office/dmake> make
   cd . && aclocal
   cd . && automake --gnu Makefile
   automake: Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found
   make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1   

PROBLEM #2 automake seems to require a README file. Please add a README file
to the dmake
directory.

Sander, 

can you confirm problems in bootstrapping with a non-existing README 
file?

Sander, whats the mechanism of bootstrap right now, using autoconf or
using the sh command.

1. aclocal.mh has to make writable by bootstrap ? script. It's not
possible to garuntee writable files after checkout with cvs.

2. the --gnu switch of automake requires README file, but my
understanding is that no --gnu is required.
Comment 3 sander_traveling 2001-10-13 14:40:16 UTC 
The present boostartsp still uses the sh script for now (i don't want
to totally crush the change that somebody might build it on solaris).
So it seems like a cvs checkout of HEAD instead of a known branch tag.
