    Use a SVN client to get the most updated sources for Babel Development code for 2.0 version, just run:

    svn co https://babel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/babel babel

    More information here:

    I am a little embarrassed but compile without the configure file – is where I am weak. I have not raw compiled in some years ever since working with embedded os/9 in the plastics industry. I can work with packages that require

    ./configure
    make install

    I would be grateful for any help. I would like to contribute to this project maybe on technical documentation.

    Thanks!!!

    Hi

    You’re missing the “make” step

    ./configure (if everything goes smoothly), make, and make install

    The documentation of Babel 2.0 we’re working on it, you can reach here http://www.openideas.info/wiki/index.php?title=Babel2:Documentation what we’ve done so far.

    We’d love if you help us out with the documentation, since it’s one of the most important parts of a project and we don’t have so many people working on it.

    Cheers in advance

    Manuel.

    Great – once it get it installed and working with it – I want to procude a manual that starts from scratch.

    But for now when I use nil’s instruction there is no configure file only a configure.in and a make.am. This is where I am hung.

    Have I overlooked something

    Thanks

    True
    Since you got the code from the svn, you have to generate the configure file, then run:

    sh autogen.sh

    You’ll generate the configure and then follow the steps we wrote above
    Good luck!
