Hello,
I'm trying to build open-vm-tools from git on Ubuntu 8.10 and I'm getting
stuck at the autotools step. Could someone post a brief 'how to build
starting from git' guide to the wiki? I tried following Adar Dembo's
suggestion from his 2008.10.13 tar ball announcement:
These files can be rebuilt by anyone with the autoconf/libtool/automake
> packages installed locally and as such, probably shouldn't be tracked by
> source control.

But that failed immediately:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/vmware/open-vm-tools$ autoconf
configure.ac:176: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:209: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_C_O
configure.ac:218: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.ac:932: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/vmware/open-vm-tools$ libtool
libtool: error: you must specify a MODE.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/vmware/open-vm-tools$ automake
configure.ac:66: required directory ./config does not exist
<followed by another hundred errors>
Are there missing steps and/or arguments?
Thanks!
Zach
P.S. If you're curious, I'm interested in the recent XVideo bug fixes.
