[gmediaserver-devel] Building from CVS

[Florian Hars]

The project misses some instructions on how to build from CVS.

So here are some observations from building on a ubuntu 9.10, i686.

One thing that I found out quite soon is that you should probably run 
postcheckout.sh after checking the code out. That does lots of things 
that look reasonable.

After that, building failed with loads of dependencies on nonexisting 
files in po/POTFILES.in:

../lib/alignof.h
../lib/getpagesize.c
../lib/iconv_open-aix.h
../lib/iconv_open-hpux.h
../lib/iconv_open-irix.h
../lib/iconv_open-osf.h
../lib/memchr.c
../uuid/uuid.h
../uuid/uuidP.h

The latter two should probably be copied by postcheckout.sh

There is an undocumented build dependency on gperf.

make distclean doesn't remove all the *.v0 files postcheckout.sh produces.

The following two changes made it compile, now I'll see if I can 
convince it to send something to the stupid dlna client in my tv.

- Florian.
