autogen.sh error #11

Closed dbermond closed 7 years ago

dbermond commented 7 years ago

I'm getting an error when running autogen.sh to compile frei0r plugins. The output is big and I have attached.

The configure file is not generated. Running autoreconf -si also produces error.

System information: OS: Arch Linux x86_64 frei0r-plugins: git master (currently at 1.6.0.r0.g07ba37c) autoconf: 2.69 autoconf-archive: 2017.03.21 automake: 1.14 Compiler: gcc 6.3.1 glibc: 2.25 OpenCV: 3.2.0 Gavl: 1.4.0 Cairo: 1.14.8

Steps to reproduce:

$ git clone https://github.com/dyne/frei0r.git frei0r-plugins-git
$ cd frei0r-plugins-git
$ ./autogen.sh

A quick reading of the log shows the obvious problem: Makefile.am: error: required file './README' not found

Sadly, this was reported before and not corrected in the release tarball including the one made yesterday: https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20161019.211825.823012d0.en.html

To make matters even worse, README in git was renamed README.md, and overnight this broke all of MLT's nightly builds in one fell swoop: http://build.mltframework.org/overview.html

The workaround is simple: create or touch README. Also, the fix is simple: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15013672/use-autotools-with-readme-md

It is working now. Thank you for the quick reply and fix.

Just a little remark: the final output of configure is showing frei0r-plugins 1.5.0 instead of 1.6.0 (or 1.6.0-4-g9da182c). I do not want to open another issue just for this small detail. :)
