Hello all,
We use autoconf for our software on multiple hosts, although in
general, we tend to develop on Mac OS X. I have two Mac OS X machines
which I can the autoconf packages (autoconf, automake, and libtool,)
from MacPorts. I have two Mac OS X machines, each running the latest
10.4.10. The problem is that on one of the machines, for the exact
same software package, autoconf builds a useless configure script,
while on the other machine it works fine. I have tried, (and failed,)
to figure out what is going wrong. I need some one with superior
thinking to my own to point me in the right direction.
Here are the versions and the autoconf debug output from the "broken" machine:
/Users/inacio>autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61
/Users/inacio>automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.10
/Users/inacio>/opt/local/bin/glibtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.24 (1.1220.2.455 2007/06/24 02:13:29)
/Users/inacio>aclocal --version
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.10
When I run the autconf command to build the configure script, this is
the output:
autoconf: running /opt/local/bin/autom4te -d -v -f --language=autoconf
--output=configure configure.in

running configure does nothing, it just returns to the prompt, without
inspecting anything, and without producing any of the needed files.

And then running configure works, I just cut off the top few lines of
its output.
