Description Andreas Volz 2004-07-20 03:16:10 UTC 
Hi,

I just tried the xserver-inst.sh script and this is printed:
cvs checkout: Updating Xproto/debian
U Xproto/debian/.cvsignore
U Xproto/debian/changelog
U Xproto/debian/control
U Xproto/debian/copyright.debian
U Xproto/debian/rules
pushd Xproto
/media/x-server/Xproto /media/x-server
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/fdo
autoreconf-2.59: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf-2.59: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf-2.59: running: aclocal  --output=aclocal.m4t
autoreconf-2.59: `aclocal.m4' is created
autoreconf-2.59: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf-2.59: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf-2.59: running: /usr/bin/autoconf
autoreconf-2.59: configure.ac: not using Autoheader
autoreconf-2.59: running: automake --add-missing --copy
automake-1.5: configure.ac: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be used
automake-1.5: configure.ac: installing `./install-sh'
automake-1.5: configure.ac: installing `./mkinstalldirs'
automake-1.5: configure.ac: installing `./missing'
autoreconf-2.59: automake failed with exit status: 1

I'm using Gentoo with recent software installed. Should I force the
xserver-inst.sh script to use another automake/autoconf version instead of
autogen.sh? Or how could I get it to build?

export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7

should fix the problem.  please test.
Comment 2 Adam Jackson 2004-07-22 13:27:31 UTC 
closing.  reporter, you need to use 'export WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.7' before running
any of the build scripts.
Comment 3 Andreas Volz 2004-07-22 13:38:56 UTC 
ok, thanks. This worked.
