I sometimes build stuff from source, and sometimes there is a configure
script. For instance, I try to build ngspice
(currently on cygwin
, but the same goes for Linux too), so I run its configure
script, and it halts with a requirement for bison
; I install that, and then I get:
configure: error: Flex is required for building XSPICE
... etc.
So, instead of running configure
each time a new package has to be installed, is there some standard way to have configure
scripts run to the end and report all errors on the way?
