Hi, I want to add Gtkmm3.9 as a third party dependency for one of my project and I try to compile from the source. I'm not familiar with autoconf or automake toolset.
Going through the documentation https://developer.gnome.org/anjuta-build-tutorial/stable/create-autotools.html.en I've found that you can autogen.sh to generate configure file. But the project is not able to configure and hence cannot generate any make files too. Gtkmm/gtkmm-3.91.2$ sh autogen.sh autogen.sh: 5: autogen.sh: mm-common-prepare: not found autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal --force --warnings=all -I build ${ACLOCAL_FLAGS} autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy --force libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, 'build'. libtoolize: copying file 'build/ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS, 'build'. libtoolize: copying file 'build/libtool.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'build/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'build/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'build/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: copying file 'build/lt~obsolete.m4' autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force --warnings=all autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoheader --force --warnings=all autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing -- warnings=allconfigure.ac:51: installing 'build/compile'configure.ac:51: installing 'build/config.guess'configure.ac:51: installing 'build/config.sub'configure.ac:28: installing 'build/install-sh'configure.ac:28: installing 'build/missing' Makefile.am:26: error: ENABLE_DOCUMENTATION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL automake: error: cannot open < build/dist-changelog.am: No such file or directory autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking whether UID '1000' is supported by ustar format... yes checking whether GID '1000' is supported by ustar format... yes checking how to create a ustar tar archive... gnutar checking whether make supports nested variables...

I cannot find any ubuntu prebuilt packages for Gtkmm3.81. - Does the Gtkmm3.9 repository contains all the dependencies within its repository or has to be built and installed in advance? - Can that be used with C++17 (I use gcc7.2 compiler)? I cannot compile any programs with old Gtkmm3.0 with C++17 as there are some removed functions in the header. I intend to use the library with C++17. More interested in the building the library ourselves.Any build instructions would be very helpful too. Thank you for taking time to read the mail. Regards Johny
