Additionally, I wanted to mention that the code checked out of git wouldn't build for me until I added the following two lines to the configure.ac:Since I wrote my original message to the list, I noticed the docs say the following:m4_include([m4/ax_boost_base.m4]) m4_include([m4/ax_boost_regex.m4])I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my installation or what, but without those, autoconf didn't expand macros properly and the resulting configure script wouldn't run.
When you compile the sources that you get from the git repository, before running the |configure| and |make| commands, for the first time, you must run the command:After checking out from git, I saw that there was an autogen.sh, so I just ran that, and ended up in the state where the boost m4 files weren't being included. Running "autoreconf -i" instead, as the docs say, works fine. So perhaps the autogen.sh script ought to be removed, or changed to run autoreconf instead so people won't end up in the same boat as me.autoreconf -iThis will run the autotools commands in the correct order, and also copy possibly missing files. You should have installed recent versions of |automake|, |autoconf| and |libtool| in order for this to succeed.
And in case anyone in the future is searching for the solution, perhaps the search engines will lead them to this message if I provide the error message I was getting:
./configure: line 15756: syntax error near unexpected token `1.33.1' ./configure: line 15756: `AX_BOOST_BASE(1.33.1)' Joel
