RFMix make

[ftlin22]

Hi, Thank you for creating this, unfortunately I am unable to compile the makefile. Is there something I need to perform to execute this correctly?

I am having the same problem. When I run automake in the main directory, I get the following errors:

6200D-132482-M:rfmix gtsambos$ automake
configure.ac: error: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
configure.ac: You should verify that configure.ac invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
configure.ac: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory,
configure.ac: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal)
configure.ac:9: error: required file 'config.h.in' not found
Makefile.am: error: required file './depcomp' not found
Makefile.am:   'automake --add-missing' can install 'depcomp'

autoreconf --force --install ./configure make (optional: [sudo] make install

Otherwise run from the source directory or manually copy the executables to places they are found by your PATH setting)

Let me know if that doesn’t work, maybe I need to update something for a new version of automake or autoconf or something.

Great, thanks for commenting so promptly! It works for me now.

This worked for me:

aclocal autoheader autoconf automake --add-missing ./configure make

That is the long way to do it, but yes the autoconf/automake process needs to be run before the ./configure script will exist. Since the ./configure script is generated and should never be hand edited, it is not in the GitHub sources and so the steps that generate it must be run. Automake requires some additional files that it usually copies into the source tree, the --add-missing flag is the correct flag to add. In its error message it actually was saying to do that. I just find it easier to do autoreconf --force --install as that usually takes care of everything in one step. Good thing to remember for other source trees which like me do not include the configure script or the various shell scripts automake copies into the tree, but I’ve seen autoreconf fail before and then I had to resort to what you did below. I should add something to the README.md for this. Thought I had but perhaps not.

Oh I think I realized why "autoreconf --force --install" didn't work for me. The autoformatting of the dashes causes copy pasting that command to yield an error- autoreconf: 'configure.ac' or 'configure.in' is required"

Glad to know the shortcut.
