build from latest git problem

[delphinen]

Hi, while building from latest compiz git I get exit status 1 with this error:

autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf
configure.ac:127: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GCONF_SOURCE_2
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1


Im building with:
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-librsvg && make && make install

thanks in advance

You need to update your autoconf version, I am using these versions of automake and autoconf.

autoconf = 2.60
automake = 1.10 <- this MUST be at least 1.10

Thanks. I updated automake and autogen. Now it says:

I don't know for sure, but maybe you have to install "libtool" and "gettext" (and maybe also gconf-dev) ... What distribution are you using?

[delphinen]

archlinux

libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.22 (1.1220.2.365 2005/12/18 22:14:06)

gettext --version
gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.15

Doing aclocal and says:
aclocal
configure.ac:24: warning: macro `AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library
configure.ac:127: warning: macro `AM_GCONF_SOURCE_2' not found in library

what im doing wrong?

[delphinen]

Im still failing. Please help me:

I had the same problem a while ago and I didn't find a solution. You could try the latest non-git compiz (so 0.3.2) because you do not need to run autogen.sh then. Simply run./configure --enable-librsvg
make
make install


I see no reason to change the install-dir (its really just a matter of taste), so if you do not really need it, don't add --prefix=/usr ...

:)

[delphinen]

I can build non git compiz without problem, but I want to try the new annonate plugin, plus, I want to try some things... thats why I want to build from git.

[mikedee]

Did you check that you have gettext headers (dev package) installed?

Also try rerunning ./autoconf.sh after installing any headers and upgrading make etc.
