Hi Stuart,

Was just installing asciidoc on a new machine from hg.  Configure fails with a 
message:

configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." 
"./../.."
You need  to run autogen.sh or autoreconf -i to bootstrap from VCS checkout.


Hi Stephan,

There is no autogen.sh in the asciidoc package and after autoreconf -i
./configure still does not find an install-sh.  The documents I
pointed to in the link below state:

--add-missing to automake may help?


" If you use AC_PROG_INSTALL, you must include either install-sh or
install.sh in your distribution; otherwise configure produces an error
message saying it can't find them—even if the system you're on has a
good install program."

Forcing requirements on the projects is what prompted the [expletive
deleted] on my original post.  Asciidoc is a Python program that
really doesn't need much of autotools, but installing by the normal
./configure && make &&sudo make install recipe makes it more
comfortable for users.

Cheers
Lex

Stefan


This appears to be [expletive deleted] by the autotools [expletive deleted] 
developers that now requires that script to be present even if it isn't used. 
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Alternative-Programs 
AC_PROG_INSTALL.

Just touching install-sh was enough for it to work (it actually uses the system 
install program, not the shell script) but as I read the link above we are now 
required to include the install-sh distributed with autoconf in the 
applications directory.

Cheers
Lex
