1: AOL Server make error
Posted by Giles Carlin on 11/15/04 01:46 PM
Hi,
I'm sure there's a simple answer to this question. I've followed the instructions to install AOL server.
I install tcl8.4
% gunzip < tcl8.4.0-src.tar.gz | tar xvf -
% cd tcl8.4.0/unix
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/aolserver --enable-threads
% make install

Everything works great for that install. Then i try to install AOL server:

% gunzip < aolserver-4.0.8.src.tar.gz | tar xvf -
% cd aolserver-4.0.8
% ./configure
% make install

After typing make install i get the following error:

make: Fatal error in reader: include/Makefile.global, line 48: Unexpected end of line seen

Does anyone know how to rectify this?
Thanks for your help,
Giles

If you're doing this today, I strongly suggest you use the more current releases of Tcl 8.4 -- just today, Tcl 8.4.8 was released.

Also, when you configured AOLserver, you didn't specify --with-tcl ...

Also, you didn't say what platform you're building on (Linux, Solaris, BSD, OS X, etc.) but you need to make sure that you use a recent version of GNU make to build AOLserver.
