Eli Collins commented on HDFS-1582:
-----------------------------------
bq. The logic here is that we want those files to end up in the tarball before
a release. As was noted by Todd on the original issue we want those files to be
bundled for platforms that lack autotools.
Makes sense.
bq. It is not libtool. The build now depends on the entire autoconf.
Yes, both autoconf and libtool (which autoconf does not depend on). On trunk
my host (ubuntu 10.10) with autoconf but not libtool installed I could compile
libhdfs, I had to install libtool after applying this patch. Wrt the new
dependencies we just need to update the release notes field on this jira
indicating they add this dependency.
bq. Are you talking about a graceful message when autoreconf is not present?
Nope, I have autoconf (v 2.67) and this libhdfs build fails. From the message
below it looks like it's looking for install-sh in the wrong directory, it
exists in src/c++/libhdfs, but the path below looks odd, eg the quoting is off
and there's no config directory.
{noformat}
[exec] configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in
config "/home/eli/src/hdfs4/src/c++/libhdfs"/config

> The repo currently includes the automake and autoconf generated files for the
> native build. Per discussion on HADOOP-6421 let's remove them and use the
> host's automake and autoconf. We should also do this for libhdfs and
> fuse-dfs.
