Public bug reported:
According to the README, the process to build libfreetype6 seems to
start with
./debian/rules patch
which fails due to the correct version of autoconf not being detected,
even though it is installed:
themusicgod1@Hedy:~/libfreetype/freetype-2.5.2$ ./debian/rules patch
# Unpack upstream tarballs
Unpacking freetype-2.5.2.tar.bz2 ...
Unpacking freetype-doc-2.5.2.tar.bz2 ...
Unpacking ft2demos-2.5.2.tar.bz2 ...
[...]
Applying patch savannah-bug-41590.patch
patching file src/type1/t1load.c
Now at patch savannah-bug-41590.patch
cd freetype-2.5.2 && ./autogen.sh
ERROR: Your version of the `autoconf' tool is too old.
Minimum version 2.62 is required (yours is version 2.13).
Please upgrade or use the AUTOCONF variable to point to a more recent
one.
debian/rules:72: recipe for target 'patch-stamp' failed
make: *** [patch-stamp] Error 1
themusicgod1@Hedy:~/libfreetype/freetype-2.5.2$ which autoconf2.64
/usr/bin/autoconf2.64
themusicgod1@Hedy:~/libfreetype/freetype-2.5.2$ echo $AUTOCONF
/usr/bin/autoconf2.64
(same happens if $AUTOCONF is set differently, or not set)
