Description

On my Mac I now have autotools 1.13 from Macports and autogen.sh doesn’t work any more.

Jürgen, can you reproduce or should I investigate?

This is what I get on a fresh git checkout of the devel branch:

History

#1 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 11 years ago

This problems seems to occur also for others:

Note also this:
The ?automake 1.13 release notes confirm that AM_CONFIG_HEADER, which has been superseded by AC_CONFIG_HEADERS for ten years, has finally been removed.
Same problem happens with more ports, e.g., cppunit, faac, and flac. Changing their configure.in files from mentioning AM_CONFIG_HEADER to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS appears to help work around the problem.

Can you try replacing AM_CONFIG_HEADER by AC_CONFIG_HEADERS?

#2 Updated by Deil Christoph about 11 years ago

Changing AM_CONFIG_HEADER to AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac works for autotools 1.13 .
Same fix for ctools.
I didn’t test with older autotools versions, but it should be fine.

Everyone with an up-to-date autotools will run into this problem, so this could even warrant a gammalib 0.7.1 release?

#3 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 11 years ago

Ok I have to check whether this works also on older systems. No new release is needed as this step needs not to be done for released code. You may check by downloading the last release from SourceForge.

#4 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen about 11 years ago

  • Status changed from New to Feedback
  • % Done changed from 0 to 100

I replaced AM_CONFIG_HEADER by AC_CONFIG_HEADERS in configure.ac for GammaLib and ctools. Goes without problems through the Continuous Integration, so I guess that the change is fine.
