AC_INIT([wifidog], [1.3.0])
...
AC_INIT(src/common.h)
You're calling AC_INIT twice. That doesn't seem like it can be good,
althogh I'm not sure it is the cause of the error. (Seems like it would
be too easy.)
Also:
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE# (wifidog,$WIFIDOG_VERSION)
Don't put # comments in the middle of a line for configure.ac.
Use "dnl (wifidog...". I got "no valid invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
found before I removed that.
Also, although it should not be related to the bug, I surmise that using
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])
would be better, so as to avoid errors about various required files.
Anyway, back to the original error:
> ./configure: line 2489: Report: command not found
> ./configure: line 2490: _ACEOF: command not found
..
So, looking around line 2489 of your generated ./configure, I see:
test -n "$ac_init_help" && exit $ac_status
Report bugs to the package provider.
_ACEOF
ac_status=$?
fi
Clearly there is supposed to be some sort of here document there related
to the help message. In a normal configure, it looks like this:
cat >>$CONFIG_STATUS <<\_ACEOF || ac_write_fail=1
ac_cs_usage="\
\`$as_me' instantiates files and other configuration actions
...
Report bugs to the package provider."
_ACEOF
So somehow the beginning of that standard code is not getting output. If
removing the second AC_INIT doesn't do it, all I can suggest is chopping
stuff out of your configure.ac until you find the piece that causes the
problem. E.g., make sure a minimal configure.ac:
AC_INIT([amin], [0.0])dnl
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign])
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
AC_OUTPUT
(and an empty Makefile.am) works, and add stuff to that, or remove stuff
from your configure.ac, until you can narrow it down.
I was using the original versions of autotools as released by GNU, not
the centos versions. So behavior may differ ...
Hope this helps somehow,
Karl
