On new Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04 and Fedora 18 systems, rake fails with:

Unable to find the `ax_check_icu.m4' file. git checkout HEAD src/couchdb/priv/couch_js/utf8.h Have you installed GNU Autoconf Archive?

On each system:

I haven't used build-couchdb in about a year, and previously have had no issues.

The problem is since the last comit, i come back to the 7873b76cf31caaaf2cad3246e39a8d7c8d8a4a11 and everything is ok

NodePing commented 11 years ago

Pulling 7873b76cf31caaaf2cad3246e39a8d7c8d8a4a11 didn't work for me. Still getting that error when I try to rake. Any other advice?

irbull commented 11 years ago

Reverting for 7873b76 worked for me. Keep in mind that there are submodules, so you need to update these too once you revert.

Would you please try on the latest master branch? It incorporates changes used for building CouchDB 1.3.0. I believe these are fixed since it has many autotools changes.

Thanks.

I had this problem on my Mac and found that it was because bootstrap was finding the wrong aclocal binary, and therefore the wrong aclocal path. It was finding /usr/bin/aclocal-10 instead of /usr/local/bin/aclocal (1.13). I added aclocal-1.13 aclocal-1.12 before aclocal-1.11 on the ACLOCAL=find_program…line (87) inbootstrap. Then runningbootstrapgave me some errors butautomake --add-missing; autoreconf` worked.

still seeing this on master and the v.1.3.0 branch

jhs commented 11 years ago

@janl the 1.3.0 branch is old now. I merged it into master.

Jan, which platform are you using to build? Are you sure that you have updated the Git submodules? This project now bundles autoconf-archive, so there should be dependencies/autoconf-archive/m4/ax_check_icu.m4

Failing that, please start a fresh build and then send me your rake.log file so I can investigate further. Thanks.

jhs commented 11 years ago

@janl also, if it fails, please send me your OS-installed packages, either dpkg -l or brew list or whatever.

turns out I suck at git. I withdraw my report.
