make: missing aclocal #90

Closed ondovb closed 7 years ago

Got this error after configuring and running make:

[jellyfish-2.2.6]$ make
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /home/ondovbd/jellyfish-2.2.6/missing aclocal-1.14 -I m4
/home/ondovbd/jellyfish-2.2.6/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.14: command not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.14' is missing on your system.
     You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
     'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
     The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
     <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
     It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
     <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
     <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
     <http://www.perl.org/>
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127

Running autoreconf seems to resolve the issue.

Is this from the distribution tar ball jellyfish-2.2.6.tar.gz or from the git tree?

If it is from the git tree, then yes, you need to run autoreconf -i before you can issue make. Unless you plan to develop for Jellyfish, you should use the distribution tar ball which contains everything you need to compile and install.

What's strange is that there was initially a configure script, which of course is not even in the source tree. Maybe the distribution was untarred over a source folder, or something like that. Anyway, I can't get it to happen again from a fresh download.
