bitstring: make on os x fails

[Ben Jakb]

hi I try to build bitstring on mac os x (intel) 10.5 but it fails:

$ cd ocaml-bitstring-2.0.0
$ ./configure
...
checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no
checking byteswap.h usability... no
checking byteswap.h presence... no
checking for byteswap.h... no
...
checking for ocamlc... ocamlc
OCaml version is 3.10.2
...
checking for bisect-report... no
...
checking findlib package extlib... not found
checking findlib package cil... not found

$ make
{ echo '/* DO NOT EDIT! GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY! */'; \
cat /byteswap.in.h; \
} > byteswap.h-t
cat: /byteswap.in.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [byteswap.h] Error 1

Thanks for eventually having a look into this

Do you have byteswap.in.h in the tarball? It looks like it somehow
isn't added to the tarball (although it's in the manifest, so it
should be).

it's here - as far as i can tell

ocaml-bitstring-2.0.0$ ls byteswap.in.h
byteswap.in.h

Right I see it now, the problem is that srcdir isn't defined
by the configure script. I have no idea why though. You could
try running autoreconf ...

[Ben Jakb]

no that doesn't work ...

I guess there is an error in the Makefile

$ diff Makefile Makefile.old
126c126
< cat $(top_srcdir)/byteswap.in.h; \
---
> cat $(srcdir)/byteswap.in.h; \

with replacing srcdir to top_srcdir it works ...
