Description Ian Leitch 2003-11-12 11:52:16 UTC

running ./autogen.sh --prefix/opt/fdo in Xproto, Xdmcp etc, bombs out with:

automake-1.5: configure.ac: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be used
[...]
autoreconf-2.58: automake failed with exit status: 1

configure.ac contains:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([dist-bzip2])

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE requires:
e.g AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([dist-bzip2], [6.6]) where 6.6 is the version number. 

I'm using automake-1.7.8 and autoconf-2.58.

Regards,
Ian.

Enter 

export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 and export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7

before you compile

Comment 2 Stéphane Loeuillet 2004-07-26 06:45:42 UTC

i see this as a packaging issue. it is not even an official gentoo ebuild
(breakmygentoo package ??)

comment 1 should help. if it doesn't, try newer ebuilds

closing it as it has great chances to be distro specific

yeh sorry about this report, I obviously didn't have enough coffee in me at the
time ;)
