Hi there all,
I have found this problem. I am trying to make LFS 9.0 on my Intel NUC (i5
16 gig mem) Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed.
At compiling Bison-3.4.1 make gave back the error that it needed automake
1.16. That is a problem for all people using Ubuntu (xubuntu, lubuntu,
edubuntu, etc) version 18.04 LTS (Last LTS version).
For me it didn't mean a big problem, I have upgraded my automake to version
1.16. Solved.
I don't think we've seen this reported before. We generally test build from
previous versions of LFS. We may need to add automake to the version check at
the beginning of the book. You may want to try using Bison-3.5.1.
Now, today, I wanted to compile Coreutils-8.31. What do you think happend?
Yes it needs automake 1.15 (actually aclocal) but my version is now "aclocal
(GNU automake) 1.16.1".
That may be an issue with how you updated automake. Coreutils-8.31 is known
to build fine with automake 1.16.1. The only thing I can think of is to purge
automake on the host and then reinstall it.
There is something wrong here: no released version of a package should need
automake unless configure.ac or Makefile.am are modified. I'm almost sure
automake is never run in chapter 5. So automake is not needed at all on the
host.
To "Pitmaster": have you done something special not in the book?
Good point Pierre. I just checked my logs and the only call to automake
is in coreutils in Chapter 6 after automake is built.
