Hi! If you whant to compile dmake it says: You must have autoconf version 2.13 installed to compile dmake. Get ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/autoconf/autoconf-2.13.tar.gz If you have a newer version, too. Can somebody fix this build bug! Sven
Can you post the actual messages I cannot see anything obvious. Try the following and let us know the results. ln -s configure.in configure.ac
Hi! This was the output from "bootstrap". It looks like he can make it. But at the end he generate no makefiles and so he break with an error. The Test was in the "autogen.sh" file. There was a grep on that special version and if you have a higher version it faild, too. I have installed the Version 2.52 from autoconf. ==================================================================== sven kde3/staroffice# ./bootstrap You must have autoconf version 2.13 installed to compile dmake.

I assume this issue is fixed as bootstrap no longer calls autoconf (see changes in config_office/bootstrap.1 file)
This is still an issue for the configure script. Will remove, update requirement for a windows build to use bootstrap as well. The current process magically creates dmake in the .Set file.
Ken, is this done yet? Reassigning to you :)
This is now closed, we do not use the autogen shell script.
This is not currently a problem on any working branch.
Closing issue.
