Ignoring the previous issues, I've now gotten to the point where I need to run "autoreconf" in the generated project's directory: >mlp> autoreconf configure.ac:16: required file `./compile' not found configure.ac:16: `automake --add-missing' can install `compile' configure.ac:9: required file `./config.guess' not found configure.ac:9: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.guess' configure.ac:851: required file `./config.rpath' not found configure.ac:9: required file `./config.sub' not found configure.ac:9: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.sub' configure.ac:3: required file `./install-sh' not found configure.ac:3: `automake --add-missing' can install `install-sh' configure.ac:3: required file `./missing' not found configure.ac:3: `automake --add-missing' can install `missing' libposix/Makefile.am:112: libposix_la_SOURCES must be set with `=' before using `+=' libposix/Makefile.am: required file `./depcomp' not found libposix/Makefile.am: `automake --add-missing' can install `depcomp' Since the automake invocation is rolled into autoreconf, it would seem to me that these error messages are wrong. They need to be citing the program that I am running, viz. "autoreconf" and they should be telling me what I can do within the context of autoreconf not the buried command that is having an issue. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
