config error #19

Open zeeev opened 10 years ago

zeeev commented 10 years ago

jellyfish]$ autoreconf -i gtest.mk:5: error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined gtest.mk:5: The usual way to define 'LIBTOOL' is to add 'LT_INIT' gtest.mk:5: to 'configure.ac' and run 'aclocal' and 'autoconf' again. gtest.mk:5: If 'LT_INIT' is in 'configure.ac', make sure gtest.mk:5: its definition is in aclocal's search path. Makefile.am:198: 'gtest.mk' included from here autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

I had the same error. Here is what I did to get it running on my linux workstation:

sudo apt-get install libtool
in configure.ac file, change all instances of "AC_PROG_LIBTOOL" to "LT_INIT" and save
run "aclocal"
run "autoconf"
run "autoreconf -i"
run "./configure"
remove comment lines 4-7 (I think? May need to double check this) in sub_commands/info_main_cmdline.yaggo
make
sudo make install

Hopefully this work! Good luck

the configure script is not generated in this version. The users should not have to generate this file by themselves.

Did you download the latest release tarball? It does contain the configure script.

If you start from the github tree, then you need to generate the configure script, and that is not a bug. autoreconf -fi should be enough to do so, provided you have autoconf/automake/libtool installed.
