[MonetDB-users] Compile: buildtools -> hard, MonetDB -> fails
Hello,
it took me quite a while to compile the build tools, since the make process failed without any meaningful error messages, but I cannot build Monetdb. I'd expect the configure script to fail with a descriptive error message if required packages (in my case 'libtool', 'flex') are missing.
prefix="${HOME}/opt/MonetDB" cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@monetdb.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/monetdb checkout buildtools
[...]
pushd buildtools ./bootstrap
[...] ./bootstrap: line 29: libtoolize: command not found [...]
The message about a missing 'libtoolize' is easily overlooked, and configure was running fine anyway:
./configure --prefix="${prefix}"
[...]
But the make fails
make
[...] /tmp/sk/2/buildtools/mel/mel.yy:331: undefined reference to `mel_yyerror(char const*)' [...] make: *** [all] Error 2
In case you don't know that 'yyerror' hints at flex, you're lost. Well, I figured that out and went on:
make install popd
Then I tried to continue with MonetDB:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@monetdb.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/monetdb checkout MonetDB pushd MonetDB ./bootstrap
automake 1.10.1 is 1.7 or newer. Good. autoconf 2.61 is 2.57 or newer. Good. libtool 1.5.26Debian1.5.26-4 is 1.4 or newer. Good. Python 2.5.2 is 2.0.0 or newer. Good. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/sk/opt/MonetDB/bin/autogen.py", line 29, in <module> from autogen import am ImportError: No module named autogen
Now this leaves me completely clueless... Any help wouldbe appreciated.
Kind regards, Stefan

from buildtools/README " In particular, see autogen/README for how to set your PYTHONPATH in case ./bootstrap of MonetDB, sql, pathfinder, etc. fails to find the autogen module with the default settings. "

ps: We'll also have a look into the other issues and try to make bootstrap fail more obviously in case required tools are not present...
Kind regards, Stefan

The message about a missing 'libtoolize' is easily overlooked, and configure was running fine anyway:
buildtools is AFAICT only meant for experts. An expert immediately recognises this message.

Or, just use the monetdb-install.sh script. Why are you going through the hassle of CVS sources at all? Your life (as obvious non-expert) could be so much easier if you'd let monetdb-install.sh install a nightly for you, which requires less tools, and no buildtools.
Stefan (et al.),
of course, also experts are welcome to use the monetdb-install.sh script for convenience ;-)
See http://monetdb.cwi.nl/projects/monetdb/Download/index.html for details.
In case you prefer to use the CVS sources, and you do not require the latest cutting-edge (potentially instable) development version we recommend to checkout the latest Stable branches. I ust realize that the respective branch tags are not (yet?) listed on the MonetDB web site, hence I'll share them here:
buildtools: MonetDB_1-24 MonetDB: MonetDB_1-24 clients: Clients_1-24 MonetDB4: MonetDB_4-24 MonetDB5: MonetDB_5-6 pathfinder: XQuery_0-24 sql: SQL_2-24 geom: Geom_0-4
