Compilation issue

[matt200288]

Hi I'm having some problems compiling exult-1.4.9rcl from the downloads section.
I Have all recent zlib, SDL, OGG Vorbis, and Timidity patches... also got automake, autoconf, and libtool.

autogen.sh... all's good
./configure....all's good
make........... Failure

if someone could help me get this thing installed it would be much appreciated... provided is a link to the code

I did everything as root so make life easier, as to avoid permissions issues... any help is much appreciated

Can you try with svn (which we recommend anyway)

And use the search next time - u7file.h gives the same answer I just gave
