Nightshade Legacy

nscontrol missing from 10.5.1 tarball

Asked by Steve Paras-Charlton

I'm attempting to compile nightshade on Linux (Ubuntu 10.4) and Mac OSX 10.5. In the INSTALL file, the linux/mac build proceedure states:
~$ tar -zxf nightshade-XXX-tar.gz
~$ cd nightshade/nscontrol
~$ ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
~$ sudo make install

Unfortunately, there is no nscontrol subdirectory. As the announcement for this version states "a new nscontrol library", I tried skipping this step and went on to:

~$ cd ..
~$ ./configure
~$ make

but ./configure complains that "Nightshade control library not found. Try building project under nscontrol subdirectory first."

Have I missed something? I've looked on the site for a separate download for nscontrol (and searched google) but have found nothing...

Thanks,
Steve

Upon re-reading, the title should really have "or" instead of "and" :)

Please download an updated tarball (md5: 8f49df2bedc1bd90a3c94f4c6fb0ba74).

This was a packaging oversight, the INSTALL file is correct.

Thanks for clearing that up for me :)

I went to:
http://nightshadesoftware.org/downloads.html

and downloaded again, but still no nscontrol subdir (and md5 did not
match). Is there somewhere else I should download from?
