Christian,
The newest versions of autotools don't seem to like the configure.ac
files in liblouisxml andliblouisutdml They also complain about gnulib.
The message is something like "file st.init is from a previous version."
I'm sure I don't remember the filename correctly.
Anyway, I got liblouisutdml to build on the machine on which I am doing
Java development. I did what I'm not supposed to do. I have an older
machine on which the autotools work. So I added all the generated files
to the liblouisutdml repository and then cloned it onto the second
lmachine. Now it builds fine and I can proceed with development. There
shouldn't be a problem unless I change a Makefile.am Hopefully by that
time the autotools problems will be sorted out.
Thanks,
John
