------------------------------------------
Summary: bootstrap.sh on Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) automake error
Key: THRIFT-3071
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3071
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build Process
Affects Versions: 0.9.3
Environment: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Reporter: James E. King, III
Priority: Minor
Ubuntu 12.04 contains automake-1.11, and the bootstrap.sh script requires 1.13
or later:
{code}
~/dev/thrift$ ./bootstrap.sh
configure.ac:103: warning: macro `AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS' not found in
library
configure.ac:103: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.{code}
A workaround for this issue is to install automake-1.14 via community PPA:
{noformat}
# add-apt-repository ppa:dns/gnu
# apt-get update
# apt-get install automake
{noformat}
bootstrap.sh should check the version of automake and emit a nicer error
message when 1.13 or later is not available.
