Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Timo Gurr (tgurr) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: open-vm-tools-2008.08.08-109361 fails to configure Initial Comment: When performing ./configure it bails out with following error message: checking for GCC flag -Wno-pointer-sign... yes checking for GCC flag -Wno-unused-value... yes checking for GCC flag -fno-strict-aliasing... yes checking for GCC flag -Wno-unknown-pragmas... yes checking for GCC flag -Wno-uninitialized... yes configure: error: conditional "am__fastdepCXX" was never defined. Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally. Using: gcc-4.3.1 automake-1.10.1 Attached patch fixes the issue for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Timo Gurr (tgurr) Date: 2008-08-12 11:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1687320 Originator: YES File Added: build.log ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Timo Gurr (tgurr) Date: 2008-08-12 11:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1687320 Originator: YES Attached is my config.log. After reading your comment I also found out that if I don't force the rebuild of the of the autotools scripts it works like in your case, I'm also attaching my full build.log and configure.fail (the autoconf 2.62 regenerated configure script). File Added: config.log ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Adar Dembo (adembo) Date: 2008-08-11 21:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1867590 Originator: NO Hmm, I don't think that patch is correct. If you look further into configure.ac you'll see that AC_PROG_CXX is already invoked in the case where icu is enabled. If icu is disabled (which it is in your case) we shouldn't need the C++ compiler/linker, and so we shouldn't require it for all open-vm-tools builds. That's why it's surprising to see this failure. When I run your ./configure line locally (after removing my /usr/bin/g++ symlink) I don't see this problem. Could you share your config.log file? Is anyone else experiencing this bug? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Timo Gurr (tgurr) Date: 2008-08-11 13:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1687320 Originator: YES Forgot the most important, following ./configure parameters were given: ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --without-kernel-modules --without-icu --without-x --disable-multimon --libdir=/usr/lib64 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=2046262&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
