autoconf 2.62
automake 1.11
libtool git

We use a script (name autogen.sh) to launch the autotools programs:

[code]

#!/bin/sh

rm -rf autom4te.cache
rm -f aclocal.m4 ltmain.sh

echo "Running aclocal..." ; aclocal $ACLOCAL_FLAGS -I m4 || exit 1
echo "Running autoheader..." ; autoheader || exit 1
echo "Running autoconf..." ; autoconf || exit 1
echo "Running libtoolize..." ; (libtoolize --copy --automake || glibtoolize 
--automake) || exit 1
echo "Running automake..." ; automake --add-missing --copy --gnu || exit 1

if [ -z "$NOCONFIGURE" ]; then
        ./configure "$@"
fi

[/code]

After a 'make maintainer-clean' (no more generated files at all), I 
launch, successively:

./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/local/e17
make
make install

Then I get:

make[4]: entrant dans le répertoire « 
/home/torri/tmp/svnroot/e17/libs/eina/src/modules/mp/chained_pool »
make[5]: entrant dans le répertoire « 
/home/torri/tmp/svnroot/e17/libs/eina/src/modules/mp/chained_pool »
make[5]: Rien à faire pour « install-exec-am ».
test -z "/home/torri/local/e17/lib/eina/mp/" || /bin/mkdir -p 
"/home/torri/local/e17/lib/eina/mp/"
 /bin/sh ../../../../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c   
eina_chained_mempool.la '/home/torri/local/e17/lib/eina/mp/'
libtool: install: error: cannot install `eina_chained_mempool.la' to a

make[5]: *** [install-controllerLTLIBRARIES] Erreur 1


If you want to try the library:

svn co https://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/eina

There is no dependency.
