I have no problem with ./configure, make, make install on a downloaded, untarred 10.5. But when I place the code under CVS and try to build within my cvs working directory, I get the errors below. If I copy the untarred 10.5 source into my cvs working directory, preverving the time stamps, it works
(\cp -rfp * /home/bevans/UA_3rdParty/pkg-base/src/ethereal-0.10.5/src)
Any ideas?
I have been working on this all day, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Bob.
