Hi ! I try to compile current k3b cvs, but I don't get the auto* stuff to work. I nearly understand nothing of that, so maybe i find here someone enlightened.
I simply started as it is proposed by the instructions on their website and got *** Creating configure aclocal.m4:5542: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: _m4_divert_diversion aclocal.m4:164: KDE_PATH_X_DIRECT is expanded from... aclocal.m4:5542: the top level autom4te-2.5x: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1 Ok searching for the _m4_divert_diversion brought me to: http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/autoconf/html_chapter/autoconf_15.html#IDX915 ---- Future versions of Automake will simply no longer define most of these macros, and will properly quote the names of the remaining macros. But you don't have to wait for it to happen to do the right thing right now: do not depend upon macros from Automake as it is simply not its job to provide macros (but the one it requires by itself): $ cat configure.in AC_INIT AM_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T $ rm aclocal.m4 $ autoupdate autoupdate: `configure.in' is updated $ cat configure.in AC_INIT AC_CHECK_TYPES([ptrdiff_t]) $ aclocal-1.4 $ autoconf $ ---- Ok tried that and get the following : ...... # autoconf-2.5x ac-wrapper: ouch, couldn't call binary (/usr/bin/autom4te-2.13). or that it wants autoconf-2.5x What is this all about ? I keep getting this weird stuff, not only on k3b. Are files of kde broken or is the auto-stuff on mandrake 9.1 broken or am I just to stupid or what is this ? I tried removing all related packages and reinstalled it and tried again with the same result. I tried to with the admin dir provided by the kde-sdk package instead of kde-common/admin to no avail. If someone could give me a hand here i would be glad. I can live with software that doesn't compile because it is in development, but this stuff get on my nerves, the more, the less I don't understand it and doesn't find usefull infos about it. Hope somebody can help Steffen
