aclocal warning #13

Closed tingjung closed 5 years ago

tingjung commented 5 years ago

Hi James, When I tried to install OpenSTA and executed $ ./bootstrap, I got the error messages below:

aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1

After I create a directory named m4 by $ mkdir -p m4, the issue is solved.

In my case, I've solved this issue by typing 

$ libtoolize

and tried

$ ./bootstrap

what version of autoconf do you have installed? the first line is just a warning and "normal". it works fine in autoconf 2.69, the required version documented in INSTALL

autoreconf --install aclocal: warning: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'. glibtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh' glibtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'm4'. glibtoolize: copying file 'm4/libtool.m4' glibtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltoptions.m4' glibtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltsugar.m4' glibtoolize: copying file 'm4/ltversion.m4' glibtoolize: copying file 'm4/lt~obsolete.m4' configure.ac:379: installing './compile' configure.ac:570: installing './config.guess' configure.ac:570: installing './config.sub' configure.ac:12: installing './install-sh' configure.ac:12: installing './missing' app/Makefile.am: installing './depcomp' configure.ac: installing './ylwrap'

The autoconf on my machine was 2.63, but I still got the same messages after I installed version 2.69 of autoconf. $ libtoolize before $ ./bootstrap do solve the problem.

autoconf is one of many tools in the gnu configuration world. the versions rarely seem to be coordinated very well in machine configurations. what version of automake and libtool do you have?

It was 1.11.1 and 2.2.6b. After I update them to 1.15.1 and 2.4.6, I got new error messages like below 

configure.ac:384: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_SHARED
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:576: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: /path/to/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

$ libtoolize solves the problem though.

jjcherry56 commented 5 years ago

well, I can't help you because those same versions build without error when I use them:

I posted a release on github that has a tarfile that lets you build without Autotools. You would be better off using that method. See the updated INSTALL.
