I am trying to get a development system setup and am having trouble identifying how FreeBSD handles automake, autoconf and the like. Specifically I am trying to get the Apache log4cxx source to compile and of course I am running into problems with automake, aclocal, autoheader, autoconf and libtoolize not being in the path. I did chase them down in the /usr/local/libexec/automake18 and similar directories but placing them in the path still generates errors (i.e. there continues to be things that are missing at various stages). I guess my general question is: What is the standard way for setting up FreeBSD to use these (GNU tools) with the least trouble across disparate projects? I have never had this problem on Linux as they have always been properly setup on install and I want to get FreeBSD going and do it the way that is accepted as the standard so that later generalizing my project with autoconf will be standardized as well. I appreciate any feedback and realize this is a rather broad question, but hey I said I was new to FreeBSD. Keith -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
