Problem building in autoreconf #66

Closed rperper closed 1 month ago

rperper commented 1 month ago

On a number of different Linux systems (AlmaLinux 8, Ubuntu 22.04 and others) using 8.6.1 or master, autoreconf reports this error:

autoreconf -i -v --force
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force 
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing

Others seem to get past it, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

I have tested under Debian 12, Ubuntu 22 and AlmaLinux 8, but I'm not able to reproduce the error mentioned.

Please make sure your machine has the latest auto tools and libtool installed then try again.

Yep, that was the case! When I deleted the system entirely and recreated it, I could recompile successfully. Thanks for your patience and help!

Just an additional note in case someone else runs into it. It turns out that this happens if you have a project inside a project. Projects need separate directories!
