problem with cvs build

[daniele]

i\'m trying to install planeshit from cvs on gentoo linux, but it seems there are problems with crystal space and/or cel.
that\'s are the steps i\'m following reading docs/Compile.txt:

- Crystal Space:

cd /usr/src/cvs/CS
cvs update
./configure
make -k all
make install
export CRYSTAL=/usr/local/crystal

- cel

cd /usr/local/crystal/cel
cvs update
./configure
jam
export CEL=/usr/local/crystal/cel
export CSCONFPATH=\"$CSCONFPATH $CEL\"

- planeshift
cd /usr/src/cvs/planeshift
./autogen.sh

i get this error:
Note that the Crystal Space directory is detect by looking at the CRYSTAL
environment variable. Make sure this variable is set correctly.
Unknown lib: cel
Usage: cs-config [OPTIONS] [LIBRARIES]

- pray
it doesn\'t work

I had the same problem
the cs-config-executable gives the message \"Unknown lib\" because it can\'t find the file cel.cex
you have to copy it to a directory where cs-config searches
I use the latest stabe (first release of cel) and copied it to /usr/local/crystal/bin but it should be okay to put it in the cel-directory and update the list of directories where cs-config looks
my system is a redhat 8 (2.4.24) with (yesterday) updatet austoconf (2.57 from rawhide) and I use jam 2.4 from the perforce server and planeshift-cvs
the configure-script has no more errors to tell but jam fails to update (?) 88 files
please tell me if you have these problems too or a solution

I use mandrake and built cel, CS, and Planeshift from CVS. Everything runs fine until I  jam with Planeshift. I get alot of C++ failed errors.

After trying to compile the whole day there are a lot of things I know now ;-)
First: you need the CVS from all (CS, CEL, PS)
Second: it is not this easy to install CEL (would be happy for any  howto concerning easy installation - I copied the *.so to $CRYSTAL/lib and cel.cex to $CRYSTAL/bin and appended the files to scf.cfg - must be an easier way - I\'m beginning to think about writing howtos when I got to know how all of this works)
Third: you need to use the jam from crystal.sourceforge.net/psjam-2.5rc1.tar.gz

After that it compiled successfully but you need to copy some of the data-files coming with the binary release to get it working (again mentioned nowhere - read about this in the irc #CrystalSpace on irc.freenode.net)

PS
a friend of mine is working on a script which downloads, compiles and installs CS and CEL
anyone interested?

I am if it will fix all the compile errors, also where do i copy the *.so files from?
