Re: Trouble with autogen.sh: HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

I found a solution from this webpage: https://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection/AutotoolsIntegration

I needed to copy missing m4 scripts for autogen/configure/make to run correctly.
First it was introspection.m4 from git/gobject-introspection/m4 that was missing (for autogen).
Then it was gsettings.m4 from git/glib/m4macros that was missing (for make).

Eventually (frustrated), I copied everything from my sandbox share/aclocal/ to git/gtk+/m4.  After, the whole build worked OK.

As I said in prior mail, I guess this was a bad build env.  However, I find it strange that these m4 build issues only appear in GKT+ from Git.  I worked hard to recompile my whole GTK+ sandbox from various Git projects.  All of them worked fine except for GTK+.

Here is the list of other projects I compiled from various Git repos as part of my GTK+ sandbox:
* GLib
* GObject Introspection
* ATK

* Gdk-Pixbuf
* FreeType
* HarfBuzz
* Pixman
* Cairo
* Pango
* AT-SPI2 Core
* AT-SPI2-ATK

Thanks,

Hello,
I built my own GTK+ hacking sandbox using tarballs of recent releases.  Now I am trying to build GTK+ from Git.  I did a clone, then tried to run autogen.sh, but I see these errors:

gdk/Makefile.am:187: HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
gtk/Makefile.am:1262: HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

I already built gobject-introspection from source tarball 1.34.2 for my GTK+ hacking sandbox.

I went back to my GTK+ source tree from 3.6.2 tarball and tried to run autogen.sh.  Oddly, I get the same exact errors.  When I built GTK+ originally from source tarball 3.6.2, the script configure already existed, so I didn't need to run autogen.sh.  Also, I configure'd my GTK+ with --enable-introspection=yes.  No complaints during config and build from source tarball was good.

How can I fix this problem?  My guess is I have a bad build env, but I don't know what to fix.

Here is my command and full output:
