Hi and sorry for the forthcoming terminal output, the two mails in a row, and the newbieness of the question,
I apparently cannot compile dpkg from git://git.debian.org/git/dpkg/dpkg.git The steps that I have followed are as simple as cloning the git repository in a folder and running autoconf and automake in order to create the correct configure and makefiles but the scripts fail. Here is what the terminal shows if I try to compile it root@debian:/home/daniel/dpkg# autoconf root@debian:/home/daniel/dpkg# automake configure.ac:7: required directory ./build-aux does not exist configure.ac: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found. configure.ac: You should verify that configure.ac invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, configure.ac: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory, configure.ac: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal). dpkg-deb/Makefile.am: required file `build-aux/depcomp' not found dpkg-deb/Makefile.am: `automake --add-missing' can install `depcomp' /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: The usual way to define `am__fastdepCC' is to add `AC_PROG_CC' /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again. /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: The usual way to define `AMDEP' is to add one of the compiler tests /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: AC_PROG_CC, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_CXX, AC_PROG_OBJC, /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: AM_PROG_AS, AM_PROG_GCJ, AM_PROG_UPC /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again. /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCXX does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: The usual way to define `am__fastdepCXX' is to add `AC_PROG_CXX' /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/depend2.am: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again. lib/compat/Makefile.am:15: HAVE_GETOPT does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL lib/compat/Makefile.am:19: HAVE_GETOPT_LONG does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL lib/compat/Makefile.am:23: HAVE_OBSTACK_FREE does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL lib/compat/Makefile.am:27: HAVE_STRNLEN does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL lib/compat/Makefile.am:31: HAVE_STRERROR does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL lib/compat/Makefile.am:35: HAVE_STRSIGNAL does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL lib/compat/Makefile.am:39: HAVE_C99_SNPRINTF does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL lib/compat/Makefile.am:43: HAVE_ASPRINTF does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL lib/compat/Makefile.am:47: HAVE_ALPHASORT does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL lib/compat/Makefile.am:51: HAVE_SCANDIR does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL lib/compat/Makefile.am:55: HAVE_UNSETENV does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL configure.ac: required file `build-aux/ylwrap' not found configure.ac: `automake --add-missing' can install `ylwrap' man/Makefile.am:130: WITH_DSELECT does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL man/Makefile.am:136: WITH_START_STOP_DAEMON does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL man/Makefile.am:141: WITH_UPDATE_ALTERNATIVES does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL scripts/Makefile.am:132: BUILD_POD_DOC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL scripts/Makefile.am:156: BUILD_POD_DOC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL scripts/Makefile.am:121: `%'-style pattern rules are a GNU make extension scripts/Makefile.am:126: `%'-style pattern rules are a GNU make extension utils/Makefile.am:19: WITH_UPDATE_ALTERNATIVES does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL utils/Makefile.am:33: WITH_START_STOP_DAEMON does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL utils/Makefile.am:44: WITH_INSTALL_INFO does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL utils/Makefile.am:57: WITH_UPDATE_ALTERNATIVES does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL utils/Makefile.am:65: WITH_INSTALL_INFO does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL Makefile.am:3: WITH_DSELECT does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL Makefile.am:84: COVERAGE_ENABLED does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL configure.ac:114: required file `config.h.in' not found root@debian:/home/daniel/dpkg# ./configure configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in build-aux "."/build-aux Any guidance? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
