I just recently joined Deltacloud. Yesterday, I downloaded libdeltacloud and have two questions.
- 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.
- 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.shdidn'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.
