How do I compile the CVS version?
A) You will need automake, autoconf, gmake and libtool for this.
The gcc compiler is recommended. The host cc compiler should work,
but there is a problem with automake which generates the Makefiles.
automake generates dependencies for you, in a '.deps' subdirectory,
to keep Makefile.in clean, but since automake 1.4 this uses gcc. If
you are not using gcc, you can use 'automake --include-deps' to
put the dependencies into each Makefile.in file
Scripts are available to compile the cvs version.
i.e. source make-static-developers
will compile a statically linked EMBOSS.
What this actually does is:-
aclocal -I m4
autoconf
automake -a # --include-deps # if you are not using gcc
./configure --disable-shared
make
For more info on the configurability of the build try
./configure --help
