| 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.
How bizarre... How about giving the version number? Of autoscan and
autoconf.
| can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
|
| thanks!
