Help installing Burg from source (stumped)

[wyzegye]

I am following instructions from http://code.google.com/p/burg/wiki/ManualInstall

i've gotten to the point where it says

$HOME/burg/configure --with-platform=pc --prefix=$HOME/burg_install

which returns

bash: /home/wyzegye/burg/configure: No such file or directory

I hate installing from source for this exact reason, something always goes wrong. and i'm left scratching my head. But I really want this boot loader.

can somebody help me? I'm new to fedora (from Ubuntu, there was a bug with my wireless card) and i'd like to have a positive experience with this distro in my first 24 hours.

You did the bzr checkout into your home directory right? Otherwise that path to configure would be wrong

[wyzegye]

Yup, i sure did.

there's a folder titled conf. i tried doing it on that folder, but alas, nothing

I checked out that bzr code and it works here...

> bzr branch lp:burg
> $HOME/burg/configure --with-platform=pc --prefix=$HOME/burg_install

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p

Forget running the actual configure script for now, can you confirm that you see the configure file?:

ls -l $HOME/burg/configure

that should show the file info (date, size and so on)

[wyzegye]

[wyzegye@Wyze ~]$ ls -l $HOME/burg/configure
ls: cannot access /home/wyzegye/burg/configure: No such file or directory

though if i do "ls -l $HOME/burg" I get this

Try

cd  /home/wyzegye/burg/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
su
make install

[marko]

Well, for some reason your baazar checkout was incomplete or much more likely

you didn't run ./autogen.sh

I noticed that configure isn't in the checkout, it gets created by the autogen.sh script so I bet you missed the step
where you run autogen.sh

[wyzegye]

worked like a charm thanks. Now to make a config file. fun stuff

yeah, it says i need to do that after every update, I didn't think that applied to a fresh download. My bad
