Howdy,
I just finished installing a basic LFS system, and am trying to install
GPM-1.20.7. Unfortunately, the first line of the BLFS book (Version
2014-09-06) instructions fails:
./autogen.sh
I get an error message:
configure.ac:43:error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL . . .
I've searched online and found a few suggestions to install libtool to
correct this problem (always applies to regular distros), but libtool is
already a part of the basic LFS installation. So I recompiled libtool
from scratch, as well as GPM, but saw no change to the error message.
I'm completely at a loss here.
Last year I installed an earlier version of LFS and BLFS, which used the
same version of GPM (1.20.7) as is being used here. So it's surprising
that such an apparently basic error is occurring this time around.
Alan
autogen is quite sensitive as to the version of 'autoconf' you are
using, so I would check that you have the current version (2.69)
installed in your LFS system, and that you are building gpm either
inside an LFS change-root, or from the live LFS system.
