Closed inadarei closed 1 year ago

Running on RPI 4 Model B with 8GB RAM

❯ hostnamectl
 Static hostname: rpi
      Icon name: computer
      Machine ID: xxx
      Boot ID: xxx
Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
      Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-1015-raspi

The error itself, after checking out latest code from this repo:

❯ ./autogen.sh
+ test -d m4
+ autoreconf -i -f
configure.ac:6: error: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR can only be used once
./lib/autoconf/general.m4:1970: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR is expanded from...

This is a known error when running autogen on Ubuntu rather than Debian. The fix is to delete the line AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) from configure.ac, which is required on Debian.

Thank you. That worked like a charm. Any chance we can add this to README, to avoid people re-opening the same issue like I did unintentionally? Happy to submit a PR if that helps.
