If you +have just checked out from GIT, you should add the option "--force" to +autogen.sh so that meta data is noticed by autom4te.cache. Then run + +./configure --enable-maintainer-mode + +followed by the usual make. + +If autogen.sh complains about insufficient versions of the required +tools, or the tools are not installed, you may use environment +variables to override the default tool names: + + AUTOMAKE_SUFFIX is used as a suffix for all tools from the automake + package. For example + AUTOMAKE_SUFFIX="-1.14" ./autogen.sh + uses "automake-1.14" and "aclocal-1.14. + AUTOMAKE_PREFIX is used as a prefix for all tools from the automake + page and may be combined with AUTOMAKE_SUFFIX. e.g.: + AUTOMAKE_PREFIX=/usr/foo/bin ./autogen.sh + uses "automake" and "aclocal" in the /usr/foo/bin + directory. + AUTOCONF_SUFFIX is used as a suffix for all tools from the automake + package + AUTOCONF_PREFIX is used as a prefix for all tools from the automake + package + GETTEXT_SUFFIX is used as a suffix for all tools from the gettext + package + GETTEXT_PREFIX is used as a prefix for all tools from the gettext + package + +It is also possible to use the variable name AUTOMAKE, AUTOCONF, +ACLOCAL, AUTOHEADER, GETTEXT and MSGMERGE to directly specify the name +of the programs to run. It is however better to use the suffix and +prefix forms as described above because that does not require +knowledge about the actual tools used by autogen.sh. + + +Please don't use autopoint, libtoolize or autoreconf unless you are +the current maintainer and want to update the standard configuration +files. All those files should be in GIT and only updated manually +if the maintainer decides that newer versions are required. The +maintainer should also make sure that the required version of automake +et al. are properly indicated at the top of configure.ac and take care +to copy the files and not merely use symlinks. -- cgit v1.2.3
