Thanks Michel, > configure.ac:41: error: must install xorg-macros 1.8 or later before running > autoconf/autogen > This looks like your problem.
Yes indeed, but I was using jhbuild and it seems it already installed those xorg-macros in file path xorg-build/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4 with version 1.19 but perhaps that is not the place where xf86-video-ati expects to find it? By the way, a very similar problem occurs on a debian sid/buster distro : *** Configuring xf86-video-ati *** [139/201] /data/xorg_180615/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/autogen.sh --prefix /data/xorg_180615/xorg-build --disable-Werror --without-xmlto --without-fop --without-xsltproc autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal -I /data/xorg_180615/xorg-build/share/aclocal --force -I m4 aclocal: error: couldn't open directory 'm4': No such file or directory autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 *** Error during phase configure of xf86-video-ati: I do not exactly know what kind of a "thing" xorg-macros is -- apparently it is not a regular xorg package as at least it does not appear in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/ I guess it is just the one file? How would it be brought into a build if not using jhbuild? Anyway, can you suggest what I should do?
