I have downloaded the sources and am trying to build obos for the first time, but am having some trouble. Since I don't have an internet connection at my BeOS machine, I have used WinCVS on this machine to download the sources. I am using BeOS R5 Pro, updated to 5.03 Jam & the new ld are installed. When i try to run configure, this happens: $./configure ./configure: : command not found ./configure: line 11: syntax error near unexpected token `usage()' ./configure: line 11: `usage()' So I used a BuildConfig with the following contents: # BuildConfig # Note: This file has been automatically generated by configure.
