Ah, here we are. Found my notes. (Please note that I am Debian based, the package names for your distro may be different). Working from a clean copy of the branch and getting bootstrap errors. I managed to get it going by installing: autoconf automake libtool to get the bootstrap running properly and displaying all action messages and then libltdl3-dev for a cryptic undefined macro error with no helpful references to say what was missing. This problem only appears to occur in the latest versions of libtool which displays as configure.in:34: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LTDL_DLLIB If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. I am currently using: automake 1.10 autoconf 2.61 libtool 1.4.3 The bootstrap says it looks for these: WARNING: Cannot find automake version 1.9 1.7 1.6 1.5 Trying automake (GNU automake) 1.10 WARNING: Cannot find autoconf version 2.59 2.57 2.53 2.52 Trying autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61 Amos
