Compilation fails in base2 test phase of 'make maintainer-check'

[Peter Johansson]

Relates to ticket:63

With all the automagic download I thought a simple:

./configure --enable-debug && make

would work, but I get the following error:

Ideas?

(In [874]) refs #71

Adding some targets for maintainer to check that everything is OK in all three states. The target maintainer-check is just an aggregate of the three distcheck-* targets (that can be called independently if desired). For distcheck-base1 I hardcoded the '--with-basedir' which perhaps needs to be modified by maintainer. I'm not sure if it's possible (well read important) to set that in a less hard-coded manner, i.e., set it in configure.ac. distcheck-base2 did not work for me due to problems compiling the java code (refs #156).

Does your software environment fulfil the requirements stated in the INSTALL doc? Is your java compiler version 1.6? I have no problems compiling the latest revision (883) on my machine.

Ok, trying 'make maintainer-check' actually fails with your falure message. So, compiling WeNNI.java works normally but not in distcheck.
