Installation from CVS Sources
=============================
First, you must have reasonably current installations of:
libtool
automake
autoconf
If you don't you should install them first. Sources are available at
ftp.gnu.org.
Second, download the sources from CVS at sourceforge:
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.mdbtools.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mdbtools login
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.mdbtools.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mdbtools co mdbtools
Third, run autogen.sh to configure everything:
$ ./autogen.sh
-- This will run libtoolize, automake, and autoconf.
Note: FreeBSD systems, as of the time of this writing, have an old version of
libtool (1.3.4) in the ports collection. It works, but requires the presence
of acinclude.m4 in the distribution, which is why it is included. If your
system has a more up-to-date version (1.4.2, at this date), this file is not
needed and, in fact, causes an error when autoconf is run:
./ltconfig: ./ltconfig: No such file or directory
configure: error: libtool configure failed
If you get this error message, delete the file "acinclude.m4" and run
autogen.sh again.
At this point, you should resume the instructions at the beginning of this
file.
