Here is what I get when trying to compile libxfcegui4 from trunk: make[3]: Entering directory `/home/tomas/Desktop/xfce panel/libxfcegui4/libxfcegui4' make[3]: *** No rule to make target `netk-enum-types.c', needed by `libxfcegui4_la-netk-enum-types.lo'. Stop. make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/tomas/Desktop/xfce panel/libxfcegui4/libxfcegui4' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tomas/Desktop/xfce panel/libxfcegui4/libxfcegui4' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tomas/Desktop/xfce panel/libxfcegui4' make: *** [all] Error 2
--enable-maintainer-mode
(In reply to comment #1) > --enable-maintainer-mode Why is this option needed? If compilation fails without it, shouldn't it be enabled by default? Anyway compilation still fails: libtool: link: ranlib .libs/libxfce4kbd-private.a /bin/sed: can't read panel/libxfcegui4/libxfcegui4/libxfcegui4.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `panel/libxfcegui4/libxfcegui4/libxfcegui4.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[2]: *** [libxfce4kbd-private.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tomas/Desktop/xfce panel/libxfcegui4/libxfce4kbd-private' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tomas/Desktop/xfce panel/libxfcegui4' make: *** [all] Error 2

Rename "xfce panel" to something else... I had be surprised if this happens also on my machine, so let's check it out. Meh, yes. 09-01-13|14:00|mike@krapton/pts/0[106]/dev/shm/stupid dir/trunk % LANG=C ./autogen.sh cat: /dev/shm/stupid: No such file or directory cat: dir/trunk/configure.in: No such file or directory
