[Gpg4win-devel] build problems with installer

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Hello,

again I have problems with building the installer (see below).

I am starting to think we need a bullet proof description
what to do when updating an exusting build environment.
It must go to the web page as it is too compliated to search in the
email archive.
Well, "bullet proof" does probably not exist as a IT solution, but currently
every single update needed more than a single try. Usually many tries
until I got it.

I did (more or lesss, there we several problems such as that
I missed some files to delete in the first try and then did several
autogens until I found out to touch configure.ac which then
needed another make to have configure.in created etc.):

$ svn up
$ cd packages
$ sh download.sh
(search for and removed any old package)
$ cd ..
$ make clean
$ ./autogen.sh --build-w32 --enable-maintainer-mode
$  nice make
(strangeness, then:)
$ touch configure.ac
$ ./autogen.sh --build-w32 --enable-maintainer-mode
$ nice make

note, that I had a -svn615.tar.bz2 lying around. Due to some reason, the svn639
was not created.
