[pulseaudio-discuss] bootstrap.sh autoconf build errors

Tue Sep 16 07:47:29 PDT 2008

Hi all:

I still haven't managed to build PulseAudio from GIT, the bootstrap.sh script displays some error messages and stops (see below).

I get the same errors in these scenarios:
  1) cross-compiling under Cygwin
  2) compiling (for the native target) under Debian 4.0
    (standard Intel processor).

I have manually tracked down the latest versions of all dependencies I could find and manually built them fresh. These are:

 autoconf-2.62
 automake-1.10.1
 m4-1.4.11
 intltool-0.40.3
 gettext-0.17
 gdbm-1.8.3
 libatomic_ops-1.2
 libsndfile-1.0.17
 liboil-0.3.15
 glib-2.18.0
 libtool-1.5.26

The "important" errors are probably the 3 last lines. It must be some silly setting I've not set correctly for the autotools. I've tried "autoconf -v -Wall", but the verbose output does not seem to give any good hints.

I would also like to know why I'm getting "obsolete" warnings for the various M4 macros. Should I expect no warnings if I'm using the latest versions of all the tools and libraries?

This is the build log:

Please use AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) in order to cause autoconfiguration
to look for an external libintl.

Please create po/Makevars from the template in po/Makevars.template.
You can then remove po/Makevars.template.

Please run 'aclocal -I m4' to regenerate the aclocal.m4 file.
You need aclocal from GNU automake 1.9 (or newer) to do this.
Then run 'autoconf' to regenerate the configure file.

You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from the CVS
of the 'config' project at http://savannah.gnu.org/. The commands to fetch them
are
$ wget 'http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.guess'
$ wget 'http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.sub'

You might also want to copy the convenience header file gettext.h
from the /home/rdiez/pulseaudio/prereq-native/gettext-0.17-bin/share/gettext directory into your package.
It is a wrapper around <libintl.h> that implements the configure --disable-nls
option.
