Here is my autoconf:
libreoffice-4.3.5.2 > autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
The source tree is the official tar unpacked, fresh and virgin without
any modifications. Here's what happens:
libreoffice-4.3.5.2 > ./autogen.sh --without-java --enable-headless
--with-theme=no
configure.ac:111: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_CHECKING
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:117: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_RESULT
configure.ac:217: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
configure.ac:287: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN
configure.ac:3426: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LANG_SOURCE
configure.ac:3928: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LANG_PUSH
configure.ac:3941: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LANG_POP
configure.ac:8175: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_RUN_IFELSE
Failed to run autoconf at ./autogen.sh line 157.
This is on a Gentoo Linux system. I am not sure what that error message
means, and looking up "m4_pattern_allow" I found this note:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2010-01/msg00050.html
Do you know what's happening here?
