Hi ,
Created the Symlinks for gm4 and gnu4 and the PATH is also fine . But still we raegetting the same problem . We are using bison-2.3 and the version of the autoconf is 2.60 . Could you please look into this. \\BR Prathima Eric Blake <e...@byu.net> 04/03/2009 08:51 AM To Prathima G <prathim...@tcs.com> cc bug-m4@gnu.org, K Mohammad <k.moham...@tcs.com>, bug-bi...@gnu.org Subject Re: Reg M4 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [adding bug-bison] According to Prathima G on 4/2/2009 8:19 AM: > > Hi , > > > While doing a ./configure for bison I receive the error: > > checking for gm4... no > checking for gnum4... no > checking for m4... /bin/m4 > checking whether m4 supports frozen files... no > configure: error: GNU M4 1.4 is required > > How to fix it? > > I'm running this on HP-UX 11.0 box and have just installed GNU m4 1.4.6 Which version of bison? At any rate, the version of m4/m4.m4 in bison.git is rather old, and should probably be replaced with the version from autoconf 2.63 or newer. The bison version suffers from the problem that it only finds the first m4 in PATH, whether or not it is good enough. The autoconf version has been improved to search the entire PATH, and validate that whichever m4 is picked is really up to the task, rather than just relying on its position in PATH. Meanwhile, the workaround is simple - simply install GNU m4 earlier in your PATH, or even add a symlink gm4 that points to your fresh installation of GNU m4. > Notice: The information contained in this e-mail As a note of netiquette, this disclaimer is unenforceable on publicly archived mailing lists.
