Re: Kawa not building on OS X from Git

[Duncan Mak <duncanmak at gmail dot com>]

I tried running autogen.sh, but there might be some path issues:

duncan@furigana:~/git/Kawa (master)$ ./autogen.sh
configure.ac:11: error: required file '../compile' not found
configure.ac:11:   'automake --add-missing' can install 'compile'
duncan@furigana:~/git/Kawa (master)$ automake --add-missing
duncan@furigana:~/git/Kawa (master)$ ./autogen.sh
configure.ac:11: error: required file '../compile' not found
