Hey autoconf folks,
I'm following some outdated instructions in an attempt to compile some
proprietary, closed-source, unsupported, legacy code. Here is what a
typical shell session looks like:
$ autoreconf -fi
src/Makefile.am:7: error: 'pkglibexecdir' is not a legitimate
directory for 'PYTHON'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
$ cat src/Makefile.am
pkglibexecdir = $(libexecdir)/packagename
nobase_pkglibexec_PYTHON = \
python_module_1.py
python_module_2.py
[...]
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = Makefile.in
BUILT_SOURCES = some_source
some_source:
ln -s ../lib/python/some_source some_source
I'm using GNU Autoconf 2.69 on CentOS 7. I'm also having similar issues
with other packages in the same project. I'm assuming that there's a quick
fix for this problem but I'm not very comfortable with autotools and most
of what I've found via google hasn't made a lot of sense to me. Any advice
would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Itamar
P.S. I've also posted this question on stackexchange, so I'm including a
link here in case someone wants to go claim credit for their solution (I'm
not sure what the etiquette is on cross-posting to mailing lists):
