Does not compile on OSX by default

[pgte]

There is no configure script. I'm a noob regarding compiling stuff, so excuse me if there is any blatant error.

I tried the following:

$ autoconf

And there was this error;

configure.ac:48: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:66: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.ac:69: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_C_O
configure.ac:98: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL

There was a configure file generated anyway which I tried to run:

$ ./configure

And I got the error:

configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.."

Then I got an install-sh and tried running configure again and got:

HELP! :)

You should do first:

$ ./autogen.sh

autogen also does the configure step so you just need to

$ make

and you will have Skeltrack compiled :)

[pgte]

Thanks! Still fails, this time with:

Any idea? :)

[joaquimrocha]

You need to install GObject's Introspection libs, on Debian these are libgirepository1.0-dev and gobject-introspection. Don't know how to install these in OSX though...

[pgte]

Installed gobject-introspection, but it's still complaining that I don't have it installed, which is false :/ Here is the full output:

[pgte]

Any idea?

[joaquimrocha]

Did you install the development files of GObject Instrospection? Can you see them using the following command? pkg-config --list-all|grep introspection

[pgte]

Pedros-MacBook-Pro:Skeltrack pedroteixeira$ pkg-config --list-all|grep introspection
gobject-introspection-no-export-1.0 gobject-introspection - GObject Introspection
gobject-introspection-1.0           gobject-introspection - GObject Introspection

[joaquimrocha]

Did you do that in the same shell that you had run the ./autogen.sh and ./configure ?

[pgte]

Yes :/

[joaquimrocha]

Hmmm, check where you have the gobject-introspection-1.0.pc and make sure you have it accessible from where you compile Skeltrack. e.g. if the file is in /usr/lib/pkgconfig: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/

[iaguis]

As a last resort, you can try disabling introspection by running

$ ./configure --disable-introspection

[joaquimrocha]

Hey Pedro, have you been able to compile Skeltrack in the end?

[pgte]

Haven't persuited it yet, gonna look into it later as an open alternative to OpenNI...

Having this exact same problem, in the same order. When disabling Introspection nothing really changed:

... checking for GLIB... yes checking for EXAMPLES_DEPS... no checking for gobject-introspection... no (disabled, use --enable-introspection to enable) ./configure: line 12536: syntax error near unexpected token 1.11' ./configure: line 12536:GTK_DOC_CHECK(1.11)'

[thisMagpie]

You need to do what @joaquimrocha said, but do it for the actually pc path for your configuration so it works for you check where the relevant package files are with:

for f in $(locate *.pc); do dirname $f; done | uniq

[j-bv]

I got this problem on Ubuntu and I solved it by :

apt-get install gtk-doc-tools
