I'm not sure whether this is a cygwin problem, an automake problem, or my problem but I thought I'd start here.
I'm trying to run the autotools on cygwin (eventually using cccl when I get that far), but I'm running into trouble before that. Here's the error I get: $ autoreconf -fvi autoreconf-2.61: Entering directory `.' autoreconf-2.61: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf-2.61: running: aclocal --force /usr/share/aclocal/pstoedit.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_PSTOEDIT /usr/share/aclocal/pstoedit.m4:7: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' /usr/share/aclocal/pstoedit.m4:7: or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal /usr/bin/m4: unrecognized option `--debugfile=autom4te.cache/traces.0t' Try `/usr/bin/m4 --help' for more information. autom4te-2.61: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf-2.61: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 As background: $ m4 --version GNU M4 1.4.4 $ automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.10 $ aclocal --version aclocal (GNU automake) 1.10 I've attached my configure.ac and Makefile.am although I don't think it's relevant. If it's interesting: $ ls -l autom4te.cache/ total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 dbyron None 0 Jan 17 09:48 output.0t -rw-r--r-- 1 dbyron None 0 Jan 17 09:48 requests I went ahead and upgraded to m4 1.4.8: $ m4 --version GNU M4 1.4.8 and tried again: $ rm -r autom4te.cache/ $ autoreconf -fvi autoreconf-2.61: Entering directory `.' autoreconf-2.61: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf-2.61: running: aclocal --force /usr/share/aclocal/pstoedit.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_PSTOEDIT /usr/share/aclocal/pstoedit.m4:7: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' /usr/share/aclocal/pstoedit.m4:7: or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal autoreconf-2.61: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf-2.61: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf-2.61: running: /usr/bin/autoconf-2.61 --force autoreconf-2.61: running: /usr/bin/autoheader-2.61 --force autoreconf-2.61: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing configure.ac:8: installing `./missing' configure.ac:8: installing `./install-sh' Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp' autoreconf-2.61: Leaving directory `.' so it works, but there's still this warning. Looking at /usr/share/aclocal/pstoedit.m4, it had: AC_DEFUN(AM_PATH_PSTOEDIT, on line 7. I went ahead and changed it to: AC_DEFUN([AM_PATH_PSTOEDIT], and the warning disappeared, revealing a different one. As I fix each one the same way, a new one appears. Here are the rest. /usr/share/aclocal/libsmi.m4:8: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_LIBSMI /usr/share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4:17: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_LIBMCRYPT /usr/share/aclocal/cppunit.m4:4: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_CPPUNIT I have a sneaking suspicion this is a cygwin problem since I don't see these source files in the automake 1.10 tarball I've got. Can someone take a look at do a sanity check here before I post to the cygwin list? Thanks much. -DB
