Hi Guys,

Just gone through install and build and found a few things out of date in
the README.
The main one is the need to run the obviously named generateBuildFiles.sh

building source from git
================

Instructions in README seem to be out of date or need a little more
detailed.

1. instal avis client from here:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/avis/avis-client-1.2.4.tar.gz

I will update this. It might make sense to point to
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/avis/ so it is less likely to get out of date
with new Avis release.

2. avis ./configure, build

3. tweak avis, copy missing header file from correct platform location

export AVIS_HOME=<where you installed it>
cp ${AVIS_HOME}/platforms/gnu_automake/avis_client_config.h
${AVIS_HOME}/src/include/avis

I will make the appropriate changes as well.

4. run script to generate configure scrpts in downstream directories

./generateBuildFiles.sh

Someone else pointed out the same problem in bugzilla. I am preparing a patch
that updates the readme to inlcude this step for git builds.

Currently the source tarball does not contain the configure scripts. I will
remedy this shortly as well.

5. ./configure --prefix=/home/openmama
--avis-path=${AVIS_HOME}/src/avis-client-1.2.4/src

The next REAME patch will contain this as well.

6. make, make install


couple of things I haven't fully tracked down yet:

make install in the top dir does not install the mama/examples
when you run make install in the example/c dir it installs in /bin not
examples/mama as the mamda and jni examples do

From the top directory, "make install" should install the compiled examples in
<prefix>/bin and the example source in <prefix>/examples/... Are you running
make with more than one job (-j > 2)?

Thanks for the detailed feedback. This is very helpful. The build process is not
nearly as smooth as I would like it. I will incorporate your suggestions in one
more patches

Regards,
-Mike
