Hi folks. I'm trying to figure out why Marco can't build from hg
sources. He reports the problem below.
TIA,

Dear Jordi,
I'm stucked here
# Build and test your local copy of the source tree.
cd octave
sh ./autogen.sh
[...]
build-aux/bootstrap: libtoolize -c -f ...
Remember to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' to `configure.ac'.
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `build-aux'.
build-aux/bootstrap: aclocal --force -I 'm4' ?...
configure.ac:73: error: AC_REQUIRE: circular dependency of AC_GNU_SOURCE
m4/extensions.m4:19: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is expanded from...
../../lib/autoconf/specific.m4:310: AC_GNU_SOURCE is expanded from...
m4/extensions.m4:19: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is expanded from...
configure.ac:73: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1
My system is quite old (Linux Mint 4, 2008), could it be a problem?
Thanks,
Marco
There are some minimum requirements for the various autotools. They are:
Automake >= 1.11
Libtool >= 2.2.2
Autoconf >= 2.6.0
There are checks in configure.ac which should verify this, but it's worth
checking anyways.
I found several other threads that indicate that it is a problem which has
been patched. This one seemed the most promising if you wanted to hack
something yourself.
