Hello, I was trying to compile fox-1.7.90 . The reason is because after using adie on OpenSuse, and then Gentoo Linux, I really missed it on Devuan(Debian) Linux. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble compiling the package and the error message is rather weird. It's seeking to cd to libtool but, of course, libtool is installed on my system, it's not in or near the source dir of libfox. Even weirder is that the package was already configured. I even rebuild the configure script, thinking that it was outdated, without any effect. I tried consulting the INSTALL file, but couldn't find anything relevant. The output of the make command is below for your viewing pleasure. Thanks! # ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-x --with-xft --with-xshm --with-shape --with-xcursor --with-xrender --with-xrandr --with-xfixes --with-xinput --with-xft --with-freetype-library --with-fontconfig-librarry -enable-release--with-opengl --without-xim --with-gnu-ld --enable-threadsafe ... # make -j24 make[1]: Entering directory '/home/me/fox-1.7.90/utils' /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -Wall -Wextra -Woverloaded-virtual -Wshadow -Wstrict-overflow -Wstrict-aliasing -Wdouble-promotion -Wno-implicit-fallthrough -DHAVE_JPEG_H=1 -DHAVE_TIFF_H=1 -DHAVE_ZLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_BZ2LIB_H=1 -DHAVE_CUPS_H=1 -DHAVE_XSHM_H=1 -DHAVE_XSHAPE_H=1 -DHAVE_XCURSOR_H=1 -DHAVE_XRENDER_H=1 -DHAVE_XRANDR_H=1 -DHAVE_XFIXES_H=1 -DHAVE_XINPUT2_H=1 -DNO_XIM -DHAVE_XFT_H=1 -DHAVE_XFT_H=1 -DHAVE_GL_H=1 -DHAVE_GLU_H=1 -DHAVE_GLX_H=1 -Lyes -o reswrap reswrap.o ../libtool: line 7902: cd: yes: No such file or directory libtool: error: cannot determine absolute directory name of 'yes' make[1]: *** [Makefile:431: reswrap] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/me/fox-1.7.90/utils' make: *** [Makefile:505: all-recursive] Error 1
