Re: [libvirt] Bootstrap fail, but non-useful message :/

We might be able to silence it by doing: m4_apply([AM][_SILENT_RULES], [[yes]]) in configure.ac instead of our direct call to AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]) Hmm. This error seems independent of whether pkg-config is correctly installed - it is complaining about a missing autoconf macro. What version of automake and autoconf are installed to begin with? Bootstrap documents that we require 2.59, and 2.59 does provide AC_MSG_ERROR, so I can't figure out how it isn't getting expanded. But bootstrap shouldn't have let you get this far if autoconf was older than 2.59. About the only other thing I can think to do is add AC_PREREQ([2.59]) near the beginning of configure.ac to give up early if autoconf is too old but got past the bootstrap check anyway. But if your autoconf version really is too old, it would be better to patch bootstrap to get the version check right. Same category as AC_MSG_ERROR. Yep, back to the analysis of not finding pkg-config .m4 files. Maybe it's a matter of aclocal not looking in the correct directories for installed .m4 files? -- Eric Blake eblake(a)redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
