Build Issue on Fedora 26: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

[NoFear0411]

Hello,

I was following your linux guide to build it on linux and run on some troubles with the build. My OS is fedora 26 x86_64 4.14.4-200.fc26.x86_64. Installed all the dependencies but I get a weird make error on llvm-project.

scanning dependencies of target llvm-dis [100%] Building CXX object tools/llvm-dis/CMakeFiles/llvm-dis.dir/llvm-dis.cpp.o [100%] Linking CXX executable ../../bin/llvm-dis [100%] Built target llvm-dis [ 29%] No install step for 'llvm-project' [ 30%] Completed 'llvm-project' [ 30%] Built target llvm-project make: *** [Makefile:152: all] Error 2

The cmake runs with 0 problems that I can detect

Thanks!!

Thank you for the report. Can you please try running make again and post its output?

[NoFear0411]

I went and rm -rf build, recreate it and tried running cmake like this:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/Downloads/avast/ -DRETDEC_DOC=ON

after that

make -j4 to speed things up

I've attached the output of my steps.

configure.ac:23: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
      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

Please, install libtool by running

# dnf install libtool

and try again. I'll try to compile list of all required packages for Fedora and put it into README.

In 8bc6e5518f7ccdaf3790c0bd5d6850ac5c0b4f58, I have added libtool into the list of required packages for Linux builds in the README as it is also required on other Linux distributions.

[NoFear0411]

Strange,

Package libtool-2.4.6-17.fc26.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.

The libtool was already installed. Perhaps a broken package? Did a reinstall on the libtool and now everything works fine.

Build passed with no problems.

Thank you
