are you running autogen.sh? or doing this by hand?

Alessandro-Barbieri commented 5 years ago

I'm doing it manually

chu11 commented 5 years ago

I'm assuming you didn't do some necessary prerequisite steps like aclocal -I config, which is in the autogen.sh script. Try running that.

Alessandro-Barbieri commented 5 years ago

I have run (not actually me but the gentoo build system)

libtoolize --install --copy --force --automake
aclocal
autoconf --force

Running autogen.sh will work but with warnings about the same macros

chu11 commented 5 years ago

I believe the issue is aclocal needs the -I config line, otherwise it can't find certain macros.

I assume things are working now, so closing this issue.
