Hi guys,
This question might be a bit silly, but I just cannot build the
latest development version of coreutils, which I cloned from
git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils.git
When I use `autoreconf -fiv`, it complains:
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: running: autopoint --force
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
aclocal: configure.ac:429: file `m4/cu-progs.m4' does not exist
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
Similar error messages occurs when I revert to tag 8.21, which is
1cb8e6392c70dca8773c411d4c824ad98b0fc1ec.
But When I revert to several years before, say
6eb57b59add3f7c7c70c0c6579efd0809b0632e0(Tue Jun 22 15:00:53 2004
+0000), everything goes all right.
Also when I use the source package from Ubuntu mirror(coreutils-8.13),
autoreconf also works(in fact, there is already a configure inside the
root directory of the source code).
So why the git mirror of coreutils doesn't contain "m4/cu-progs.m4"?
And what should I do to handle it?
Thanks,
Hongxu Chen
