Subject: Autotools problems.
Reply-To:

Hi, list.
I'm trying to install Enlightenment DR17 from CVS, but I have some problems.
I've tryed with the Configgen utility (devel/configgen) but I still
have problems. The strange is, that some of the libraries are
compilling fine, and some aren't.
And no, the code is NOT broken. Be sure. Here is some output.

It's fine! But... why isn't it working with Configgen?
It worked as a charm a month ago!
