Installing Oleo 1.99.5 on openSUSE 13.1_x86_64_KDE

I downloaded the tar.gz archive from http://www.gnu.org/software/oleo/ and…

… but it just hangs on the last line indefinitely. Has anyone had success installing Oleo on openSUSE 13.1?

… and the same occurs with the 1.99.16 version and other ./configure options.

Hi
It’s broken due to old code… AM_FUNC_MKTIME doesn’t exist if you
try to reconfigure.

Hmmm. A GNU package broken by changes in a GNU compiler. Thanks for the heads up anyway. If I’m ever bored I’ll think of
patching the code as an OBS contribution, but I guess there’d be little demand…

Well the code hasn’t been touched in what, 13 years :wink: I would expect
something to break… I’m guessing with some TLC it might come back
to life?
