Hi everyone: I'm cross-compiling on cygwin for a PowerPC target, and after building most of PulseAudio, I came across the following build error: libtool: link: cannot find the library `../libltdl/libltdl.la' or unhandled argument `../libltdl/libltdl.la' I realised (rather late) that bootstrap.sh should be run before ./configure . As far as I can see, that's not mentioned anywhere, and it's not something obvious to most people, I took me a while to figure that out. So I downloaded the latest versions of m4 (1.4.11), autoconf (2.62), automake (1.9.6) and built them for cygwin. Then I downloaded the latest libtool (2.2.4) and cross-compiled it. Now I'm getting the following error messages from bootstrap.sh : configure.ac:34: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_SUBST If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:72: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE configure.ac:95: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR configure.ac:246: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LTDL_ENABLE_INSTALL configure.ac:247: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE configure.ac:248: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN configure.ac:249: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL configure.ac:250: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL configure.ac:257: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_FUNCS configure.ac:440: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_ICONV I don't know much about autoconf/automake/etc. , can anybody help? The full output from bootstrap.sh is below. Many thanks, Ruben ->
