Sorry, but no dice. First, there is no "configure" file once I have
untarred. So I simply tried "make" first, and then "make install".
No dice. I get the following:
sed < fte.in >fte \
-e "s|@@CONFIGDIR@@|/usr/local/lib/fte/config|g" \
-e "s|@@BINDIR@@|/usr/local/bin|g"
chmod a+x fte
(cd src ; make unix)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/david/src'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `unix'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/david/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2
If I try "make install", I get basically the same thing:
[root@localhost david]# make install
(cd src ; make unix)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/david/src'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `unix'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/david/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2.
It is interesting that according to the documentation, there is a file
of installation instructions, but that file is in fact not there.
As a follow up to the above, I went to fte.sourceforge.net, and
downloaded fte-20020324-common.zip and fte-20020324-src.zip. All
compiled nicely except at the very end. For those interested. I got the
following error messages:
con_slang.cpp:249: cannot convert `short unsigned int*' to
`SLsmg_Char_Type*'

If anyone is interested in figuring out what definitions I need to
change where, I (and others who want to use FTE) would be most grateful.
My hope is that it is not too difficult. Sad to say, my expertise is
so lacking that I don't even know where to look to make the corrections.
I tried, but no seagar.
