[Vortex] query regarding how to compile libaxl/vortex on various UNIX platforms

[Satish Mittal]

Hi All,

I have a basic question regarding how to compile libaxl/llibvortex on
various *NIX platforms (linux-x64, Solaris-x64, hpux-ia64, aix-ppc64). I am
able to compile libaxl on Linux64 by running following commands:

% ./autogen.sh
% ./configure --prefix=<absolute location of libaxl directory>
% make

However when I proceed to compile the same on any other platform in the list
above, I get the following error on the first command:
% ./autogen.sh

*You must have automake installed to compile LibAXL:  Another XML library
implementation
*
%

Looking at the autogen.sh script, it invokes multiple other tools like
automake, autoconf, libtoolize, aclocal, autoheader etc. So my questions
are:

1) Is it mandatory to have the above tools (as a pre-requisite) to compile
axl/vortex on any UNIX platform?

2) Can't we copy the generated configure script (and other such files) from
1 platform and use it on any other? Does it have any OS/host specific info?

3) If required, which packages to get and from where? What is the minimum
version required for these? Can they be installed in a non-root login?

Regards,
Satish M
