Help with autoconf: undefined macro errors

I'm trying to compile fuppes, but I keep getting a string of errors when I tried to compile SVN 630-640.

Code:

lib/SharedConfig.cpp:41:24: error: ../version.h: No such file or directory

lib/SharedConfig.cpp:150:3: warning: #warning todo: system checks (e.g. XP firewall)

lib/SharedConfig.cpp:605:2: warning: #warning todo

lib/SharedConfig.cpp: In member function ‘std::string CSharedConfig::GetAppVersion()’:

lib/SharedConfig.cpp:240: error: ‘FUPPES_VERSION’ was not declared in this scope

make[2]: *** [SharedConfig.lo] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/fuppes-0.640/src'

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/fuppes-0.640/src'

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

but if I do autoreconf -vfi, like this page suggests I get this

Code:

You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.

And the second line says it isn't using gettext, but i DO have gettext...

Thanks for any replies

'fuppes-0.640'

And no need to run 'autoreconf' , it's only for files downloaded
with 'svn' : no 'configure' script is included.

I guess, you will have to delete fuppes-0.640/
and start from scratch and do :
./configure && make , # make install
.....

I've redownloaded the 640 tar, but "./configure; make" still ends with

Code:

lib/SharedConfig.cpp:41:24: error: ../version.h: No such file or directory

lib/SharedConfig.cpp:150:3: warning: #warning todo: system checks (e.g. XP firewall)

Well, I guessed from your other posts,
that you were using Fedora 10.
Is 'libtool' installed ? # yum install libtool .
'fuppes' has an internal libtool, which can have
a bug.

Version 640 makes no errors on a clean install of Fedora 10.
( Other versions of fuppes requires editing of some files,
before you can compile it. May be the the same for this one,
if the OS is different, or some unstable updates are used.)

So which OS are you using ? ?
Must be told every time, a question is asked.

Sorry, I had it in my signature at one point but I must have cleared it accidentely.

I'm actually using Centos 5.3 and libtool was installed. I can't really try compiling on my Fedora client, because it's 64bit.

CentOS 5.x., 'rpm -qa | grep autoconf' :
autoconf213-2.13-12.1 , autoconf-2.63-1.fc10
wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...c10.noarch.rpm
> > autoconf-2.63-1.fc10.noarch.rpm

I installed the Fedora 10 version last year, probably
for good reasons. It's just some scripts and will fit
in nicely, and has worked with everything compiled
since then. Also fuppes-640.
.....
Good luck !
