Describe the bug ... autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force configure.ac:47: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. git clone https://github.com/Mastercard/pkcs11-tools.git
  2. cd pkcs11-tools
  3. ./bootstrap.sh
  4. See error

Expected behavior ./bootstrap.sh should exit cleanly

Operating System (please complete the following information):

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8811381/possibly-undefined-macro-ac-msg-error#37980772 <- This gets me past the ./bootstrap.sh error, but then dies again now in ./configure, probably due to the fact that i removed the brackets.

interesting - i added m4_pattern_allow([AC_MSG_WARN]) to the configure.ac file, and i'm still receiving the error in ./configure

found the solution! the autoconf-archive package needs to be installed (h/t https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss/issues/227#issuecomment-227719745)

@Sheblein, yes autoconf-archive must be installed. Something to add to the documentation.

keldonin commented 4 years ago

Documentation updated, to also add autoconf-archive to the prerequisites.
