I ran autogen.sh, but it fails with something like this:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
+ running aclocal -I m4 -I common/m4 ...
|
|
aclocal: configure.ac: 8: macro `AM_DISABLE_STATIC' not found in library
|
|
aclocal: configure.ac: 17: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library
|
|
aclocal failed
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
What's wrong ?

aclocal is unable to find two macros installed by libtool in a file called
|
|
libtool.m4. Normally this would indicate that you don't have libtool, but
|
|
that would mean autogen.sh would have failed on not finding libtool.

It is more likely that you installed automake (which provides aclocal) in
|
|
a different prefix than libtool. You can check this by examining in what
|
|
prefix both aclocal and libtool are installed.

You can do three things to fix this :
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>install automake in the same prefix as libtool</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>force use of the automake installed in the same prefix as libtool
|
|
by using the --with-automake option</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>figure out what prefix libtool has been installed to and point
|
|
aclocal to the right location by running</listitem>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $(prefix)/share/aclocal"
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
where you replace prefix with the prefix where libtool was installed.

|
</orderedlist>
