I am already failing in getting the shepherd configured. On a fresh git checkout, I do autoreconf -vfi and obtain the following: autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4 aclocal: warning: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: configure.ac: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is used, but not AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf: running: /gnu/store/lpic7aaifz4v2ih54sqgwn82p13zrjrh-autoconf-2.69/bin/autoconf --force autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Autoheader autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing configure.ac:17: error: required file 'build-aux/config.rpath' not found configure.ac:17: error: required file './ABOUT-NLS' not found autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 This happens with the most recent automake-1.16.1 from Guix, but also with the previously installed 1.15.1. To test my luck, I did a "touch" on these two files; then ./configure fails with the following: ... checking <sys/prctl.h> constants... done checking that generated files are newer than configure... done configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: error: cannot find input file: `po/Makefile.in.in' Did I forget to execute anything else?
