[ptx] problems with cvs snapshot of libpano12

[Daniel M. German]

 Rich  twisted the bytes to say:

 Rich> first, thanks for the cvs snapshots - hopefully they will make it easier 
 Rich> to test new features and problems before releases :)

 Rich> using a cvs snapshot downloaded a couple of hours ago.
 Rich> now, some problems and questions :

Both seem to be an autoconf problem. 

Why I don't understand is slackware creates different configuration
files than, say, Fedora. What architecture were you using? Can you
give us more information about your set up? 

uname -a

autoconf --version

automake --version

can you please send me a copy of ./Makefile and ./configure?

Thanks Rich,

daniel

A quick fix to this is to find InsertFileName and remove the #ifdefs
around it. Windows has exactly the same problem than your
installation.

 Rich> what could be causing this and what can i do to fix it ?

 Rich> -- 

A easy way is to define CC=gcc -g before running configure (I think
that will do it)
