Hi Michael:
Since my latest sync of jdk8/cpu (today) I can't run configure. I get the
following
error:
Looks like your merge touched some of the .m4 files
(common/autoconf/basics.m4 and common/autoconf/build-performance.m4 to name
two):
Our standard guidance when this happens is to do your merge, and then run
bash common/autoconf/autogen.sh
to recreate the generated-configure.sh file(s).
That's right but you definitely need autoconf in order to do that (as
indicated in the error).
Okay. Thanks!
Notice that you don't necessarily need to run autoconf an the same
system on which you want to run the generated configure script.
If you have a shared workspace, you may for example install autoconf
on a Linux machine and run autogeg.sh there. Afterwards you can run
configure on any other system (i.e. Windows, Mac, Solaris..)

Volker
Lastly, commit them as part of your merge. If you have the closed repos,
there will be two of them.

Now, I don't have "autoconf" installed but before I try and continue by
installing it,
I'd like to understand more why this is happening. Any ideas?
Thanks!
