hi all,
i'm trying to learn autoconf by converting one of my programs to use
autoconf. i'm having difficulty; here's what i tried:
% cp Makefile Makefile.orig
% mv Makefile Makefile.in
% autoscan
% mv configure.scan configure.in
% autoheader
% autoconf
autoconf: Undefined macros:
configure.in:22:AC_FUNC_ERROR_AT_LINE
configure.in:23:AC_FUNC_MALLOC
configure.in:27:AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile])
configure.in:3:AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR([xpose.c])
p@satan% ./configure
configure: error: can not find sources in . or ..
the tutorial i'm using claimed that this should've worked. clearly
autoconf _should_ know macro functions like AC_FUNC_MALLOC, so i must be
missing a very basic and obvious step.
can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
thanks!
pete
