[Gambas-user] Release of Gambas 3.7, error in build

[Lewis Balentine]

Regarding Linux Mint 17.1 (a.k.a. Rebecca):
Becky had some teething problems and added a bunch off fancy user 
interface graphics that I did not need or want. Thus I decided to stick 
with 17.0 (updated of course --- so I may have all that stuff I did not 
want).
============

> Strange, as I successfully compiled and installed the development version
on Mint 17.1 a few weeks ago.<
----------------------
I install version 3.6.2 from the ppa. My abilities with 'C', 'C++', 'C#', gcc , g++, make, gbd, etc. are very limited. They are getting better. I am now capable of compiling the following 'C' program:
int main(){};
... and I am working on helloworld.c

So I created a fresh VMWware virtual machine for build Gambas. It is based on an OVF image of Linux Mint X64(OEM) with Mate desktop that I maintain for such things. That gives me a more less 'virgin' environment with new machine name, user name and password. I get the same errors on that machine as well. (I now have an backup OVF image of a 'virgin' GambasBuild machine as well ;-) The Idea is that I can create new machine, extract the new source to it and run the shell script (see attached) to build a new version (when I get it working).
===================

Progress:

1) commenting AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE in the 'acinclude.m4' file resolved the "./reconf-all" error.
    (note: has to be done BEFORE the FIRST attempt to build gambas)
2) several errors produced by "make" because Mint does not install g++ by default (resolved)
3) "sudo make install" produces the following errors:
----------------------
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/gb.image.effect.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/gambas3/gb.image.effect.so.0.0.0
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat '.libs/gb.image.effect.so.0.0.0': No such file or directory

----------------------
I am guessing the the "libs" (not the 's') directory is actually "~/Documents/Build/gambas3-3.7.0/main/lib/image.effect/.libs"
There are two directory entries there listed as as "link broken (inode/symlink)":
   gb.image.effect.so
   gb.image.effect.so.0
So I went looking to see if there were any other "broken links" ...
   ~/Documents/Build/gambas3-3.7.0/main/lib/clipper/.libs/gb.clipper.so
   ~/Documents/Build/gambas3-3.7.0/main/lib/clipper/.libs/gb.clipper.so.0

====================
Just to be sure this was not a fluke.
I replaced the image and tried again ...
second time around I got different errors;
among them are:

I am guessing that my 'virgin' machine is missing some required libraries or dev files.
... but I have other thing to attended to. I will have to get back to this later.
