Also running into this on CentOS 6.7 with EPEL.

That looks like autoconf failed to find our m4 files?

[probonopd]

Using autotools-latest seems to be a workaround.

Now running into ./configure: line 13091: syntax error near unexpected token 'pkgconfig_XZ,liblzma,'. Deleting 2 instances of PKG_CHECK_MODULES in configure seems to be a workaround.

Delete these:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(pkgconfig_XZ,liblzma,
        LIBS="$LIBS $[]pkgconfig_[]XZ[]_LIBS"
        # yes, CFLAGS, we want the preprocessor to work
        CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $[]pkgconfig_[]XZ[]_CFLAGS"
        sq_lib=
    ,:)

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(pkgconfig_fuse,fuse >= 2.5,
        LIBS="$LIBS $[]pkgconfig_[]fuse[]_LIBS"
        # yes, CFLAGS, we want the preprocessor to work
        CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $[]pkgconfig_[]fuse[]_CFLAGS"
        SQ_TRY_FUSE(,[sq_fuse_found=yes],
                [AC_MSG_FAILURE([Can't find FUSE with pkgconfig])])
    ,:)

How can this be solved properly? Yes, pkg-config is installed and finds the libraries:

[root@host squashfuse]# pkg-config --cflags --libs liblzma
 -llzma  
[root@host squashfuse]# pkg-config --cflags --libs fuse
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/fuse  -pthread -L/lib64 -lfuse -lrt -ldl

@probonopd squashfuse builds fine on CentOS 6. It's even in EPEL today.

It looks like you have to install autoconf/automake/pkg-config before running autogen.sh.
