[Flightgear-devel] Autogen.sh
I have noticed that since I updated cygwin autogen.sh is throwing some new warnings (this if Flightgear, but SimGear is showing similar warnings): $ ./autogen.sh Host info: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 i686 automake: 1.9.2 (19) Running aclocal /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4:5: warning: underquoted definition of PKG_CHECK_MODULES run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending- aclocal /usr/share/aclocal/libsmi.m4:8: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_LIBSMI /usr/share/aclocal/freetype2.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AC_CHECK_FT2 /usr/share/aclocal/cppunit.m4:4: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_CPPUNIT Running autoheader Running automake --add-missing Running autoconf == Now you are ready to run './configure' == I expect that this is due to the "continual improvement" of the auto tools package. I would look at it but I find the autotools to be a bit of a black box. Could someone who understands this look at it?

I hadn't twigged before that I was using automake 1.7 on Cygwin, and 1.6 on Linux. So no, I don't think it's perculiar to your system.

[Flightgear-devel] autogen.sh question
Hi, Over the past couple of days I've been fine tuning my gentoo ebuild scripts for CVS SimGear and FlightGear. Chris Horler has been great in answering my dumb questions about the automake and autoconf tools. So rather than just ask Chris dumb question I thought I'd come here too ;-) My problem is that if I use autotools version 1.5 or 1.6 that flightgear won't pass configure (simgear is fine past this stage at any of those 2 versions). The failure comes in that automake --add-missing does not copy over config.sub and config.guess. If I set WANT_AUTOMAKE to 1.7 or 1.8 then it preforms this process and it passes ./configure and goes to compile without any problems. My question is should autogen.sh refer to newer versions of autotools or is my Gentoo broken in this respect (however bear in mind I've compiled over 300 packages on this setup and not run into the problem as yet)?

When using the provided 'autogen.sh' to configure the CVS source tree (on SuSE-7.3), then I see the following (at the moment configuring SimGear sources: Host info: Linux i686 automake: 1.4-p5 (14) Running aclocal [...] Running autoconf configure.in:21: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_SG_SET_COMPILER Afterwards, when running 'configure': checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c [...] ./configure: line 1271: syntax error near unexpected token --strict_warnings")' ./configure: line 1271: AC_SG_SET_COMPILER($withval,"KCC","--restrict --strict_warnings")' The missing part is this one in 'autogen.sh': ACLOCAL_OPTS="" if [ $AUTO_MAKE_VERSION -ge 14 ]; then if [ $OSTYPE = "IRIX" -o $OSTYPE = "IRIX64" ]; thenecho " -I ." ACLOCAL_OPTS="-I ." fi fi echo "Running aclocal $ACLOCAL_OPTS" aclocal $ACLOCAL_OPTS Would'nt it be nice to set ACLOCAL_OPTS="-I ." also for other Unices ?
