I've upgraded autoconf 1.9f and got a totally new error :

Code: Select all

configure.ac:5559: /usr/bin/m4: ERROR: Recursion limit of 1024 exceeded, use -L<N> to change it autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal-1.9: autom4te failed with exit status: 1

Thanks or help

Forget my last post.

I've found something interesting :
I’d love it just one time when I tried editing a configure.ac I didn’t end up with this sort of thing:

configure.ac:1: error: possibly undefined macro: dnl

The actual problem? In the middle of the file, I had something like:

AC_CHECK_HEADER (blah, [

dnl ** OK, found it ***

])

Note the extra space between the macro name and the parenthesis. Because of the extra space character, autoconf couldn’t expand the entry correctly and misinterpreted the ‘dnl’ comment and then proceeded to tell me THE FIRST PLACE IT SAW THAT STRING, which happened to be line 1 of the file.

I hate you, autotools.

I'm now logged.

It seems that there's a syntax error in configure.ac...

There is no syntax error in configure.ac (or you're using either an old source code with new autotools or new source code with outdated autotools).

Hello,

Does the problem fix ?


I use last trunk (16194) and it seems I have the same problem.

I'm using debian sarge on 2.6.8 kernel, automake 1.9.6, autoconf 2.60.

See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:75: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN configure.ac:76: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL configure.ac:77: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in autotools "."/autotools

Re: svn ./bootstrap error Any body can help me?

Postby Micka10 » 12 May 2010 17:25

this is a problem with pkg-config ==> take the version of pkg config as described in:
http://wiki.videolan.org/Win32CompileMSYSNew

copy C:\msys\1.0\pkg-config_0.23-3_win32\bin\pkg-config.exe to c:\msys\1.0\bin

go back to vlc folder, do:

cp -v /usr/share/aclocal/* m4/
PATH=/usr/win32/bin:$PATH ./bootstrap
