Build error on Manjaro Budgie

[tastyminerals]

I have been using multiload-ng successfully in xfce on Manjaro. However on budgie I am getting the following error upon compiling.

Hi @tastyminerals, I think this is not an issue with multiload-ng. You need to clean out some build artifacts and start again. Try:

make clean
rm aclocal.m4
./autogen.sh

and then proceed normally.

Unfortunately I am getting the same result.

Do you get the same thing from a fresh clone of this repo?

What about when compiling other projects that use an autogen.sh?

[tastyminerals]

I did a fresh clone of multiload-ng repo. Haven't tried autogen.sh on other projects but it should work since some system packages were compiled from sources as well and no issues occurred.

[tastyminerals]

Trying autoreconf -vfi and then running the procedure didn't help either. Same with autoreconf --force --install.

[nylen]

Sorry, I don't know much about the autoconf tools. From the version mismatch in the output it looked like an issue with existing generated files, but I guess not.

[tastyminerals]

No problem at all. It feels like something distro related.
