Autoreconf flags not recognized...

[xero256]

I have decided to repurpose my old G4 as a Mangos server. He's an old PPC based machine running 10.5.8. I have decided to use ScriptDev2. After a few bumps due to silly mistakes, I've hit a snag. So let the fun begin!

I'm following the guide here:

http://getmangos.eu/wiki/Compile_MaNGOS_On_Mac_OS_X

Under the section "Compile for the First Time", step 2, I get to execute the following:

autoreconf -if /configure --prefix=/usr/local --datadir=/usr/local/share --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc LIBS="-framework Carbon"

When I do this, I get the following error from autoreconf

autoconf: invalid option --prefix=/usr/local
Try `autoconf --help' for more information.

Tried looking for manpages on the application and didn't find anything about using the flag "--prefix" from the gnu.org webpage. After searching the forums here, I did not find much about this.

I would appreciate it if nobody thread-jacked this. Once I figure out this bit, then I'll close the thread - simple as that.

hmm, very likely that the guide is totally outdated..

MaNGOS switched to cmake long time ago (cmake replaces autoconf on *nix) - so you should try with some cmake uses, but I cannot help you further (I don't use it)

You don't use those commands any more, you use cmake now. When you did have to use them, configure was a seperate command from autoreconf.

I think a similiar guide that might help you with this is: http://getmangos.eu/wiki/Compile_MaNGOS_On_Linux_Debian_Squeeze#Compile_MaNGOS

Spiffy. I'll have to work on that bit when I get the chance.

I appreciate the support and the link to the other guide. Let's see if we can't get a server going...

I found no way of closing this thread. If a mod can do so that would be awesome as my question is answered.
