Hello,
I follow win32CompileCygwin and create configure-vlc.sh file.
Every thing is fine but When i execute ../configure-vlc.sh(page 22) will generate some issues.
I try to find solution to resolve this but fail.

issue 1：

Code: Select all

You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `autotools'.

issue 2：

Code: Select all

+ rm -f po/Makevars.template
+ aclocal-1.10 -I m4
+ autoconf
configure.ac:357: error: m4_undefine: undefined macro: AC_DEPLIBS_CHECK_METHOD
configure.ac:357: the top level
autom4te-2.61: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1

And will pop up a exception window,"Application occur exception, unknown software error(0xc0000409) in address(0x18cb1852)".
Title is "sh.exe - Application error"

Please help me!!
Your suggestions is very applicate!!
Thanks

I read this:

I have the same problem with 9 test3 ... Turned out I didn't have libtools installed ..

just incase someone else gets this

Just to check, I have tried to install that library:

Code: Select all

root@gatv-laptop:/usr/local/vlc-0.9.5# aptitude search libtools
root@gatv-laptop:/usr/local/vlc-0.9.5#

But it seems it doesn't find it... Can you help me? Thank you!

I forgot to say that I am using Ubuntu 7.10, not windows and cywin.

Have you just tried your up2date (fredora) .. or apt-get ... or yum .. (sorry not sure which package updater Ubuntu uses.... )

First result on google if it helps:

(How to install Libtool)

Posted: **12 Feb 2009 16:13**

to update the packages we have to do: "aptitude update". I had already done this... But I find the error, I was searching "libtools", instead of "libtool"... hehe... I took away the "s" and I could find the package and install it. I have already being able to bootstrap correctly, I hope I will be able to configure the code and build it without problems!

(sometimes the errors are so stupid that you dont even think to check those things... hehe...)

Thank you anyways!!
