Subject: autoreconf failed


Author: Geobert (Ido), 2005-02-08 00:34:39
I've bumped into a strange problem:

trying to compile foobarClone but when doing AUTOMAKE=automake-1.7 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.7 autoreconf -vifs
I got an error : configure.ac:14: required file `./ltmain.sh' not found
but when I try again it works... it seems I forgot something in my command line and doing it twice seems to help.

What did I forgot ??

By the way I'm giving up porting foobar clone in Ada : to much compication with compiler version.

I'll continue the control in C :)

it's working on my computer. Maybe you're using a wrong version of autoconf.

autoconf 2.59 here

hi geobert!

I had similar problems on FreeBSD although I had specified AUTOCONF, AUTOMAKE and ACLOCAL... I think you also need to set LIBTOOL and LIBTOOLIZE... read the man-page for environment variables :)
