I always have problems bootstrapping auto* programs. This time, automake's aclocal apparently does not do what it should.
The program uses libtool: % grep LIBTOOL configure-common.ac AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN AC_PROG_LIBTOOL (configure-common.ac is included by configure.ac) aclocal does not add LIBTOOL macros: % aclocal /usr/X11R6/share/aclocal/gtk.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_GTK run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal % grep LIBTOOL aclocal.m4 % And, of course, autoconf complains: % autoconf configure:2125: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure:2126: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL I can use libtoolize: % libtoolize Remember to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' to `configure.ac'. You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal. libtoolize: `config.guess' exists: use `--force' to overwrite libtoolize: `config.sub' exists: use `--force' to overwrite libtoolize: `ltmain.sh' exists: use `--force' to overwrite but it changes nothing, aclocal still does the wrong thing. On other machines, I can run aclocal on the same tree and it does create an aclocal.m4 with LIBTOOL macros. The faulty machine is: % uname -a FreeBSD esther.generic-nic.net 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Tue Jan 30 10:03:08 CET 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ESTHER i386 % aclocal --version aclocal (GNU automake) 1.9.6 Written by Tom Tromey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
