no configure script in latest release source code

[Jason]

I am able to build 4.0 via source code because there was a configure script released with it, however 4.1 I am not able to build xpad via source code. Can this be fixed?

Thanks!

You could run autogen.sh to generate configure script. I've uploaded another tar.bz2 with configure.

Sergei, how do you generate the tarballs? "make dist" should add everything you need.

Thanks! I am getting this error now:
make: don't know how to make xpad.desktop. Stop

If you would install intltool it would appear during make. Anyway I've put it into the tarball. I've also included xpad.pot in po directory. Please try now.

Thanks Michael! Didn't know that!

[Siergiej Riaguzow (riaguzov)]

Uploaded yet another tar.bz2 created with make dist.

[Jason (jhelfman-e-e)]

I have intltool installed, however am still receiving a make error.

[Siergiej Riaguzow (riaguzov)]

Hmm.. Googling says you have to use gmake like here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=26303.

Are you sure you were able to build 4.0 version with BSD make?

[Jason (jhelfman-e-e)]

That worked! Thanks. One last question, though. If I use the configure flag of '--disable-nls' it will still build the files. Is that supposed to happen?

[Jason (jhelfman-e-e)]

Additionally, it will still install them. My apologies for not mentioning that. I am in the process of porting the latest xpad to FreeBSD, as the only current version available is stable.

[Siergiej Riaguzow (riaguzov)]

Looks like it should be handled automatically:

--disable-nls is one of the automatically added configure options. It is
not provided by our configure.ac but by the autotools themselves.

To fix it I'd suggest trying these:

1.) Try rerunning autogen.sh
2.) Try another autoconf version

However this is strange. It is me who is supposed to be calling autogen.sh before make dist, so I've created a bug for this: Bug #891308.
