Description Federico Mena-Quintero 2012-04-09 14:52:04 UTC

I was doing a jhbuild on a fresh environment (nothing built or installed before), and polkit failed here:

*** Configuring polkit *** [1/45]
./autogen.sh --prefix /home/federico/jhbuild/install --libdir '/home/federico/jhbuild/install/lib'  --disable-static
Running autoreconf on test/mocklibc ...
src/Makefile.am:2: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
src/Makefile.am:2:   The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `LT_INIT'
src/Makefile.am:2:   to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.
src/Makefile.am:2:   If `LT_INIT' is in `configure.ac', make sure
src/Makefile.am:2:   its definition is in aclocal's search path.
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

I went into polkit/tests/mocklibc and ran "autoconf -f -i".  It complained a little, but then just running jhbuild again worked fine.

Maybe polkit/autogen.sh needs to do something about tests/mocklibc before running autofoo on the whole source tree?

I think we just need to make mocklibc not have its own configure.ac and so on - I mean, it's just a couple of C files, it's overkill to make it have its own build system.
