First, I'm surprized that your binary is named automake19 and I'm also disappointed that the bootstrap script doesn't take $AUTOMAKE into account. This is minor since bootstrap is the collection of commands that is supposed to bootstrap the autotools and is intended only for CVS users, other people are supposed to use a bootstrapped tarball (make dist) and will directly call configure. I suppose bootstrap should be fixed to also check for $AUTOMAKE as an ultimate override. > After that aclocal shows the following warning: > + aclocal19 -I autotools > /usr/X11R6/share/aclocal/gtk.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of > AM_PATH_GTK > run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' > or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal This is not important, aclocal walks through all installed m4 macros, and report a syntax error on this one, but Gtk isn't required for Mbuni. I suppose this is the ancient Gtk 1.2 macro. > and autoconf shows this error: > + autoconf259 > configure.ac:21: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL > If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. > See the Autoconf documentation. That's a real error, aclocal needs the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL macro (because Mbuni uses libtool) but didn't find it. You need to install libtool (exactly like you need to install automake 1.9) in order to bootstrap the CVS. Or you can use the latest released tarball, or bootstrap the CVS from another host. You're probably also interested in having libtoolize in your PATH for bootstrap. On my Debian system, the libtool package provides /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 which has the macro.
