confusing install procedure

Open setop opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

README says :

  1. In the DirectFB directory type: ./configure make make install (as superuser)

But after git clone, there is no "configure". You have to run "./autogen.sh" which check dependencies and seems to also execute ./configure and finish with a "run make to build directfb".

Is the right procedure : ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install (as superuser) or just ./autogen.sh make make install (as superuser) If the later, how to choose configure options ?

You need to run ./autogen.sh with the required parameters, it will pass them to ./configure. See https://github.com/deniskropp/DirectFB/blob/master/autogen.sh#L110 and below.

Calling ./configure a second time should also work.

Or instead of using autogen.sh, recommended is running "autoreconf -fi", then ./configure etc...
