It can't find config.sub. It's trying to run config.sub from the directory "./", which is /usr/src/modules/comedi/:
r...@laptop:/usr/src/modules/comedi# cat config.log | grep config.sub configure:1817: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub It is trying to use "./" because that was the dir assigned to the ./configure var "ac_aux_dir", on ./configure line 1784. It makes that assignment because it finds install-sh in the dir "./". I consider this to be a bug in the GNU ./configure script, because testing for the existence of "install-sh" does not imply the existence of "config.sub". There should be a separate test for the existence of "config.sub". Note that config.sub shows up several times on my hard drive, both in system locations and in GNU source code tarballs. System locations are: /usr/share/automake-1.7/config.sub /usr/share/libtool/config/config.sub /usr/share/misc/config.sub Those are all identical files (I diff'd them.) I added config.sub to the comedi.tar.bz2 that came with the package and retried. Unfortunately, that failed to fix it because the file config.sub gets deleted during the build process. I watched the config.sub appear when my new bz2 was unpacked, and then watched it get deleted during the build. I believe that it gets deleted in Makefile.in, during a call to "am__remove_distdir", because config.sub appears in the variable DIST_COMMON. I haven't found an easy workaround yet. -- build with module-assistant fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365295 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
