I just recently joined Deltacloud. Yesterday, I downloaded libdeltacloud
and have two questions.
1. For past 20 years I've been using Windows. Now to do deltacloud I find
that Fedora 13 works - everything so far
on the download page is working. Yesterday I downloaded libdeltacloud and
today you say you just released version 0.4.
How do I tell which version I downloaded?
I guess it depends on which version you downloaded :). Did you get it off of
my website, or did you pull it from git? If you pulled it from my website
previous to today, then the only version up there was 0.3, so you must have
that. The name of the file should also be something like libdeltacloud-0.3.
If you pulled it out of git, you can do "git tag" or "git log" to look
at
the version you are currently at.
2. In my past i have been a Unix guru. However, due to my behavior for the
past 10 -15 years, my Unix/Linux skills have
waned. How do I build libdeltacloud. I have all the requisite software
on my Fedora 13 system but just running
bash autogen.sh
didn't seem to build the executable. There is a Makefile.in but no
Makefile. What have I missed?
autogen.sh is just the first step to building. You basically need to do:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
Which will build the library for you. Note that there is no executable
generated, just a .so. I will add a top-level README into the source code
with this information.
Thank you.

PS: Has anyone tried to put all this stuff together on Windows with cygwin?
No, not at all. I would be surprised if it works there without some
modification, but if you do get it working, let me know the steps so I can
put them in the README.
