Hi Nigel,

I just did a git pull and make update

article.c gcc: warning: @BLOCKLIST_CPPFLAGS@: linker input file unused because linking not done gcc: error: @BLOCKLIST_CPPFLAGS@: linker input
file not found: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [Makefile:44: article.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/compile/inn/nnrpd'

This is not enough when building from Git.
You'll normally see a file named BOOTSTRAP at the root of the
repository, saying:

"""
If you're seeing this file, you have cloned or checked INN out of Git,
or otherwise obtained a copy of the development tree rather than a
snapshot or standard release. This means that you need to start by bootstrapping the tree before you can build INN or read much of the documentation.

To do this, run:

./autogen
./configure
make bootstrap
"""

Oh ok. I thought autogen was only required when first building from a
new git clone. I'll add this to my notes since it's the first time I've
come across this issue.
Thanks,

Hi Nigel,

If you do not run autogen, the modification of some files (configure.ac
and related m4 files used at configure time, innshellvars scripts, Makefile.global, include/config.h, include/inn/paths.h and a few others)
won't be picked up. It could lead to an unexpected behaviour, though
the code builds fine. Of course, you'll notice it directly when the
code no longer builds because a new macro is used, defined at configure
time, but not present in the files generated by a previous run of
configure. (That's the case you encountered.)

Got it. It compiled ok after that. Thanks.
