how to compile from sources

[Ben]

hi

This is what I would expect as a standard routine:

1.) svn checkout http://caffeine-hx.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ caffeine-
hx-read-only

2.) cd caffeine-hx-read-only/

3.) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/caffeinehx

4.) make

5.) sudo make install


Step 2.) is where it stops for me on:
- ubuntu 8.04
- GNU Make 3.81
- Ocaml 3.10.0

Step 3.)
": ./configure: command not found"

Step 4.)
"make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop."


Any help with this?

Thanks in advance
Ben

For the most part, caffeine-hx is just a library path to specify on
the command line with haxe. So when compiling, add -cp
/path/to/caffeine-hx-read-only/ext to the .hxml file or your haxe
command line. (ext is the 'haxe library extension' directory)

The only exception to this is the neko dlls, which are located in
caffeine-hx-read-only/ext/ndll. I've included Linux dll's in there,
which would need to be copied to your neko ndll directory (usually
/usr/neko/lib). There really isn't anything to 'configure' and 'make'
yet, other than the dlls, but that process is still rather a manual
one, since there's no contributor doing Windows or Mac targets and
makefile editing yet.

Hope that helps
