Re: Issues using autoconf or automake

[Jim Galarowicz]

Hi Gavin, all,

When I apply these changes (adding -I m4 to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in 
Makefile.am and -I libltdl/m4 to the aclocal call in bootstrap), I don't 
get the  "Makefile.am:63: error: HAVE_QTLIB does not appear in 
AM_CONDITIONAL" (and others) any more.

But now, when I do the "make clean" after the bootstrap and configure, 
it reconfigures again, in stead of giving the errors:

(end of 1st configure):
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands

(first command after the configure):
address@hidden OpenSpeedShop]$ make clean
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && aclocal-1.13 -I libltdl/m4 -I m4
 cd . && automake-1.13 --foreign
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && autoconf
/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck
running CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh /bin/sh ./configure 
--prefix=/opt/osscbtf_v2.1u3 --libdir=/opt/osscbtf_v2.1u3/lib64 
--with-included-ltdl --with-instrumentor=cbtf --with-tls=implicit 
--with-libelf= --with-libdwarf=/opt/krellroot_v2.1u3 
--with-binutils=/usr --with-libunwind=/opt/krellroot_v2.1u3 
--with-papi=/opt/krellroot_v2.1u3 --with-sqlite= 
--with-qtlib=/usr/lib64/qt-3.3 --with-dyninst=/opt/krellroot_v2.1u3 
--with-dyninst-version=8.2 --with-lampi= 
--with-openmpi=/opt/openmpi-1.6.5 .....................


If I start with a clean repository, then it doesn't reconfigure on the 
first bootstrap, configure, make clean.   But if I bootstrap, configure, 
and then do a make clean, then it does the same recheck again:

address@hidden OpenSpeedShop]$ make clean
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && aclocal-1.13 -I libltdl/m4 -I m4
 cd . && automake-1.13 --foreign
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && autoconf
/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck

That won't work well when the tarball is moved to another platform with 
other tools because I tried loading the old tool set in after the first 
bootstrap and configure.  The "make clean" errors off saying there is a 
mis-match in automake versions.

Anyway, I thought I would report these findings to the list.

Thanks for everyone's help!
I will post on the automake or libtool list for more help with this.
