Setup BZflag server on Solaris 11.2 - 11.3 Beta
Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2015 12:25 am
Hey all,
I wanted to configure my own BZflag server on my Solaris machine. I've got fibre optics so speed is fine and Solaris has some useful capabilities not necessarily found on other OSes. My Q is how to configure the server on Solaris? The readme.solaris is basic and looks old. I downloaded the tar.gz file and extracted then used:
$ sh autogen.sh -v
Verbose output enabled
Found a configure template: ./configure.ac
Preparing the BZFlag build system...please wait
Checking autoreconf version: autoreconf --version
Checking autoconf version: autoconf --version
Found GNU Autoconf version 2.68
Checking if 2.68.0 is greater than 2.52.0
Checking automake version: automake --version
Found GNU Automake version 1.11.2
Checking if 1.11.2 is greater than 1.6.0
Checking libtoolize version: libtoolize --version
Warning: libtoolize does not appear to be available. This means that
the automatic build preparation via autoreconf will probably not work.
Preparing the build by running each step individually, however, should
work and will be done automatically for you if autoreconf fails.
Checking libtoolize alternate: glibtoolize --version
Checking libtoolize alternate: libtoolize15 --version
Checking libtoolize alternate: libtoolize14 --version
Checking libtoolize alternate: libtoolize13 --version
ERROR: Unable to locate GNU Libtool.
ERROR: To prepare the BZFlag build system from scratch,
at least version 1.4.2 of GNU Libtool must be installed.
autogen.sh does not need to be run on the same machine that will
run configure or make. Either the GNU Autotools will need to be installed
or upgraded on this system, or autogen.sh must be run on the source
code on another system and then transferred to here. -- Cheers!
now I can download http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/ latest one but how do I get this to be detected during the autogen section?
Tz
