Hello,

I am working on OpenIndiana and I have compiled many times fontoforge
with no problem. Today I tried to compile the latest version of FontForge
and I did a git clone to get the latest source. Initially, I did an
autoreconf but the system reported that certain things where missing and
that there are no lib and libltdl directories. An automake solved some
problem
but I had to manually create the directories. Finally, the system created a
configure file which had a number of  offensive commands:

gl_MANYWARN_ALL_GCC([warnings])

  # Enable all GCC warnings not in this list.
  gl_MANYWARN_COMPLEMENT([warnings, $warnings, $nw])
  for w in $warnings; do
    gl_WARN_ADD([$w])
  done

  # Add an extra warning
  gl_WARN_ADD(-Wstrict-overflow=1)

  # Add these explicitly: adding -Wfoo to $nw doesn't work in this case
  gl_WARN_ADD([-Wno-unused-result]) # FIXME: We should in fact use this,
but currently it makes too much noise
  gl_WARN_ADD([-Wno-comment]) # We use /* in comments with good reason

  # Add some more safety measures
  gl_WARN_ADD([-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2])
  gl_WARN_ADD([-fmudflap])

I was getting an error message about a offensive ( After I deleted these
commands
(they produce warnings,,,) I rerun configure and no it stops with the
following message

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named IPython
checking that generated files are newer than configure... done
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'

So can someone help to fix this issue?

Regards,

A.S.
