Can't build nextbird - Githubissues

leandromeira commented 5 years ago

I am not able to install NextBird on Linux Mint 19.1.

I installed Corebird from the main repo, then downloaded NextBird and ran ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr This is the output I get:

aclocal --install
autoreconf --verbose --force --install -Wno-portability autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: running: autopoint --force Can't exec "autopoint": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 345. autoreconf: failed to run autopoint: No such file or directory autoreconf: autopoint is needed because this package uses Gettext
exit 1

The file /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm exists.

It looks like on Debian, the autopoint program is shipped as a separate package (autopoint), and I assume it’s the same on Mint. Is that package installed on your system?

More generally, try running the following command (see also the release process):

apt build-dep corebird

leandromeira commented 5 years ago

The combination of both tips made the trick. Thanks a lot and congrats on the good work!

Okay, great :)
