Thanks!

../m4/m4-ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_11.m4:38: error: macro AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX is not defined; is a m4 file missing?

Looks like an issue with your m4 setup. Can you try

sudo apt-get install build-essential m4

[sr1990]

Still see the same issue.

Do you have autoconf installed?

sudo apt-get install autoconf

[sr1990]

Yes autoconf is installed.

sudo apt-get install autoconf Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done autoconf is already the newest version (2.69-9).

[canbal]

Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce the same error so I'm going by my hunch. Can you try running these

aclocal autoconf

and repeat the configure etc instructions

[sr1990]

Was able to resolve this issue by renaming m4-ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_11.m4 to m4_ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_11.m4 in the m4 folder.

Are you able to build using m4-ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx_11.m4?

[canbal]

That's interesting. Yes, it works on my Mac and I was able to on an Ubuntu Docker container as well.

I tried the renamed version and that works for me as well. Can you confirm this patch fixes it for you?

https://github.com/twitter/vireo/compare/m4?expand=1

[sr1990]

Yes the patch works for me. Thanks

[canbal]

Great, merged.
