The fundamental issue is that we need to ditch autoconf (and cake) from the build process (I'm not saying from development, but from configuring and building a VM).
No word of argument from me. Other than saying it can’t happen soon enough.
But ion the short term,
- fix the path in platforms/unix/plugins/UnicodePlugin/acinclude.m4, commit and push
Well first there’s 0) edit the damn configure script to add the include path and get a working %^$%&^#ing VM. (And woo-hoo! got the configure to actually agree to make the plugin at last)
- ask someone who has a system that will rebuild configure to do so, and wait for them to do so and commit and push
Shouldn’t a ubuntu x86 linux system be able to do that?
- try again with the revised configure script
(configure how do I hate thee? let me count the ways…)
I’d give up. Trying to exhaustively count an uncountable infinity is sure to hurt.
