common directory is corrupted in git
Last modified: 2013-02-15 11:28:33 UTC
After git cloning (git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer) there is not ./configure. I would try it to create with autoconf. I get configure.ac:11: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:14: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_VERSION configure.ac:17: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_NANO configure.ac:25: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE configure.ac:67: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_LIBTOOL configure.ac:72: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_AUTOTOOLS_ALTERNATE configure.ac:79: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION configure.ac:80: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT configure.ac:88: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL configure.ac:248: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_C_O configure.ac:251: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_AS configure.ac:618: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_AC_EXPAND After that i try autoreconf --install Copying file ABOUT-NLS Copying file config.rpath Copying file m4/codeset.m4 Copying file m4/gettext.m4 Copying file m4/glibc2.m4 Copying file m4/glibc21.m4 Copying file m4/iconv.m4 Copying file m4/intdiv0.m4 Copying file m4/intl.m4 Copying file m4/intldir.m4 Copying file m4/intlmacosx.m4 Copying file m4/intmax.m4 Copying file m4/inttypes-pri.m4 Copying file m4/inttypes_h.m4 Copying file m4/lcmessage.m4 Copying file m4/lib-ld.m4 Copying file m4/lib-link.m4 Copying file m4/lib-prefix.m4 Copying file m4/lock.m4 Copying file m4/longlong.m4 Copying file m4/nls.m4 Copying file m4/po.m4 Copying file m4/printf-posix.m4 Copying file m4/progtest.m4 Copying file m4/size_max.m4 Copying file m4/stdint_h.m4 Copying file m4/uintmax_t.m4 Copying file m4/visibility.m4 Copying file m4/wchar_t.m4 Copying file m4/wint_t.m4 Copying file m4/xsize.m4 Copying file po/Makefile.in.in Copying file po/Makevars.template Copying file po/Rules-quot Copying file po/boldquot.sed Copying file po/en@boldquot.header Copying file po/en@quot.header Copying file po/insert-header.sin Copying file po/quot.sed aclocal: couldn't open directory 'common/m4': Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 Can you please chech why is the common directory empty? Thank you
After checking out a module, please run: ./autogen.sh which will also check out the common sub-directory with the build stuff needed. Also see: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/faq/html/chapter-git.html#git-anon The gstreamer-devel mailing list is a good place to get support if you run into further issues with this.
