Missing convey/m4 files?

davidozog commented 4 years ago

After commit d48a15594d02822b6efd3d9ed026d8b463feb50b there appear to be missing files in the convey/m4 directory. For instance, ax_check_compiler_flags.m4, acx_pthread.m4, doxygen.am, and possibly more. Is it possible these files were omitted from that commit?

The issue may be related to the toplevel .gitignore file, which apparently excludes all m4/ directories recursively. For instance, I added my own copies of ax_check_compiler_flags.m4 and ax_pthread.m4 (from gnu.org) to see if I could fix the problem, but I see that those files are ignored by git.

Side note: the error I saw leading to this was:

configure.ac:68: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

but that error might be misleading... I think it's due to the missing ACX_PTHREAD macro.

Thanks for letting us know! I think I fixed this issue. Let me know if it's still a problem.

Thanks very much! This issue is fixed, but I have another build problem that I'll open up in a separate ticket.
