./configure seems to fail while building mesos from source

[mumoshu]

Hi,

Thanks again for sharing this!

FYI, I have noticed that the chef recipe invoked while launching vagrant-mesos on the multinode configuration fails while running ./configure:

src/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
sed: can't read ../ltmain.sh: No such file or directory
sed: can't read libtoolT: No such file or directory
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

I'm also running into the same problem. If I vagrant ssh then I can run ./bootstrap, configure make w/o any problem.

I think the direct reason is that some of required files weren't copied. mesos' ./bootstrap script, that is essentially autoreconf, might be a problem.

And, a workaround I could find is to run bootstap twice. Build was succeeded when I changed the mesos recipe (mesos::build_from_source) in local so that autoreconf runs twice.

code  <<-EOH
  ./bootstrap
  ./bootstrap
  mkdir -p build
  cd build
  ../configure --prefix=#{prefix}
  make
EOH

I would like to keep this issue open because I don't figure out essential reasons and fixes for it. Is there anyone who can see essential reasons and fixes for this problem??
