autogen.sh fails on older system #209

Open bigguiness opened 11 months ago

bigguiness commented 11 months ago

I'm trying to add a touchscreen to an old BeagleBone system running wheezy (Debian 7.11). I know it's old, I know I should update it, but it works...

When I try to use the touchscreen I get a message that says: selected device is not a touchscreen I understand

I tracked that message down to coming from tslib so I thought I would try updating it.

I cloned the repo, but when I try to run autogen.sh I get this:

$ ./autogen.sh configure.ac:64: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:65: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_ENABLE_SHARED configure.ac:66: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN configure.ac:67: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

Is there any chance of getting this to work?

Appears I was missing libtool. Installed that and the autogen.sh worked.

I then did: $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install

But when i try to run ts_test, just to see if everything works, I get this:

$ sudo ts_test ts_test: error while loading shared libraries: libts.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas? Did I miss something?

look for the installed libts.so.0*. where is it? what other libraries are there?

btw. you can always use release-tarballs. no need to run autoreconf on those.
