Description Minghui Lu 2012-11-12 15:34:58 UTC

Hello,

I try to install Mesa
When I do ./configure
then it gives the error

./configure: line 4522: syntax error near unexpected token `[2.4.2]'
./configure: line 4522: `LT_PREREQ([2.4.2])'

I checked goole, most of them said it's the problem of the version of my libtool
So I updated the libtool to 2.4.2 (the lastest version)
but it still gives the same problem.

This looks similar to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37117 (a bug for libdrm) but I don't know what the problem is.

Does this happen if you build from git or from release tarball?

git sha1: 1569b3e536da9337a28a16d0cc6ed07043bf094b

To reproduce this "bug":
mesa> ./autogen.sh
...
src/egl/drivers/dri2/Makefile.am:37: error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined
...
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
mesa> ./configure
...
./configure: line 5129: syntax error near unexpected token `2.2'
./configure: line 5129: `LT_PREREQ(2.2)'

To fix this "bug" I commented these problematic lines and installed all required packages.
To fix "autogen.sh" error I installed "Libtool":
> git clean -xfd
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure

And everything works fine.
Maybe is just an environment problem.

Can you check if this solves your problem?

i got the same error messages on ubuntu 14.04. The solution for me was to install libtool package via apt.
