If that had to be done, that would constitute a clear upstream bug. Well, either that or that file itself should not be there. Are we building this from a tarball, or directly off the bleeding edge? "Autogen" scripts like that should usually only exist in Git/SVN/CVS versions of the source, but not in release tarballs. Those are supposed to be packaged with all autoconfigury already built and included, and the autogen script itself left out instead. > configure.ac:161: error: macro GTK_CHECK_BACKEND is not defined; is a m4 file > missing? > /usr/share/aclocal/ax_require_defined.m4:35: AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED is expanded > from... > configure.ac:161: the top level The name prefix AX_ indicates a non-standard macro. This particular one is available in the autoconf-archive package in Cygwin (hence the generic install location, instead of the version-specific ones where all our actual aclocal versions' files are kept). Linux distros may package it differently. But source packages using such non-standard macros may be assuming different versions of them than we have. Which is all the more reason they really have to include them, in their own version control. > I also wonder if the -install option to autoreconf shouldn't be forwarded to > aclocal. If autoreconf itself isn't doing that, we quite probably shouldn't, either. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
