GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 641470
configure should honor aclocal flags ACLOCAL_FLAGS
Last modified: 2011-12-03 10:37:30 UTC
I'm building libsoup via JHBuild. libsoup builds successfully. If upstream then updates configure.in, then I run 'make', which attempts a reconfigure, but fails. This is because JHBuild sets ACLOCAL_FLAGS to include the sandbox (e.g. -I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal). One may argue it is silly for JHBuild to require every module to support ACLOCAL_FLAGS, but there isn't a way around it until automake-1.12 is out - which includes support for ACLOCAL_PATH. Further details in the JHBuild bug 634617. The build failure is: make V=1 CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /home/Oxyde/gnome/libsoup/missing --run aclocal-1.11 -I m4 configure.ac:75: warning: macro `AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0' not found in library configure.ac:6: warning: AC_INIT: not a literal: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=libsoup cd . && /bin/sh /home/Oxyde/gnome/libsoup/missing --run automake-1.11 --foreign configure.ac:6: warning: AC_INIT: not a literal: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=libsoup CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /home/Oxyde/gnome/libsoup/missing --run autoconf configure.ac:6: warning: AC_INIT: not a literal: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=libsoup configure.ac:75: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
