[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Scratchbox and Environment Variables ($ACLOCAL_FLAGS)

[From: mailinglists at lachner-net.de]

Hi,

I'm using Scratchbox 0.9.8 on SuSE Linux. Installation of the rpm packages 
just works without any problems.

I find out, that Scratchbox inherits the environment variables from its start 
shell, because I had some trouble with an autogen.sh script.

The script uses $ACLOCAL_FLAGS environment variable. On SuSE Linux this 
variable is set to "-I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal". Scratchbox uses the same 
value for this variable, which isn't really a good idea, at least at SuSE 
Linux and with the autogen.sh script I try to run, 
because /opt/gnome/share/aclocal don't exist inside Scratchbox and the Maemo 
environment.

Ok. I solved this problem by setting ACLOCAL_FLAGS to nothing inside 
scratchbox. The autogen.sh script/aclocal works after I do this. Maybe 
someone have the same problem with Scratchbox on SuSE and this helps. Maybe 
future Scratchbox/Maemo versions or the tutorial could taken care of this.


Best regards
