Hello! I'm a new user of the GNU Autotools build system, and I need some help from more experienced Autoconf fellows. I'm trying to create an Autoconf script that generates a config.h and Config.mk to include to my sources and Makefiles respectively, but I'm having some trouble when trying to use Autoconf without using Automake. I have a configure.ac script that goes more or less like this (I'm not posting the full configure.ac, since I think that's not necessary): AC_PREREQ([2.67]) AC_INIT([My program], [0.1], [bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]) AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([main.c]) AC_CONFIG_FILES([Config.mk]) AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h]) AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT([/usr]) AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS AC_CANONICAL_HOST m4_include(...) AC_ARG_ENABLE([foo], AS_HELP_STRING([--disable-foo], [Disable feature foo])) AS_IF([test "x$enable_foo" != "xno"], [ dnl Do the stuff needed for enabling the feature ]) AC_ARG_VAR([bar], [Path to bar]) AC_PROG_SED AC_PROG_CC AC_PROG_INSTALL AC_PROG_LN_S AC_PROG_MAKE_SET AC_PATH_PROG(...) AC_CHECK_LIB(...) AC_FUNC_ALLOCA AC_CHECK_HEADERS(...) # Checks for typedefs, structures, and compiler characteristics. AC_HEADER_STDBOOL AC_TYPE_UID_T AC_C_INLINE AC_TYPE_INT16_T AC_TYPE_INT32_T AC_TYPE_INT64_T AC_TYPE_INT8_T AC_TYPE_MODE_T AC_TYPE_OFF_T AC_TYPE_PID_T AC_C_RESTRICT AC_TYPE_SIZE_T AC_TYPE_SSIZE_T AC_CHECK_MEMBERS([struct stat.st_blksize]) AC_STRUCT_ST_BLOCKS AC_CHECK_MEMBERS([struct stat.st_rdev]) AC_TYPE_UINT16_T AC_TYPE_UINT32_T AC_TYPE_UINT64_T AC_TYPE_UINT8_T AC_CHECK_TYPES([ptrdiff_t]) # Checks for library functions. AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE AC_FUNC_FORK AC_FUNC_FSEEKO AC_FUNC_LSTAT_FOLLOWS_SLASHED_SYMLINK AC_HEADER_MAJOR AC_FUNC_MALLOC AC_FUNC_MKTIME AC_FUNC_MMAP AC_FUNC_REALLOC AC_FUNC_STRNLEN AC_FUNC_STRTOD AC_CHECK_FUNCS(...) AC_OUTPUT() Since I don't use any Automake macros, I thought that I dind't need Automake, and so I executed the following: $ autoheader && autoconf Everything runs fine, but when trying to execute configure script: $ ./configure checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /bin/grep checking for egrep... /bin/grep -E checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for sys/types.h... yes checking for sys/stat.h... yes checking for stdlib.h... yes checking for string.h... yes checking for memory.h... yes checking for strings.h... yes checking for inttypes.h... yes checking for stdint.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking minix/config.h usability... no checking minix/config.h presence... no checking for minix/config.h... no checking whether it is safe to define __EXTENSIONS__... yes configure: error: cannot run /bin/bash ./config.sub Now If I try to run Automake to create the missing files: $ automake -a configure.ac: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found. configure.ac: You should verify that configure.ac invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, configure.ac: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory, configure.ac: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal). configure.ac:21: installing `./config.guess' configure.ac:21: installing `./config.sub' configure.ac:74: installing `./install-sh' BUG.am: `install.sh' is an anachronism; use `install-sh' instead automake: no `Makefile.am' found for any configure output It creates the needed files, but exits with status 1. Is there anyway to generate config.sub without relying on Automake, or is there anyway to run Automake without it trying to parse Makefile.am?
