[SOLVED] Transmission slackbuild 'missing aclocal-1.14'

coralfang · 09-03-2014, 08:14 AM

Previously, transmission had a bug that kept resetting the user settings and littering my home directory with strange empty folders (v2.77), happy to see an update in slackbuilds (v2.84), but it refuses to build.

Installing with sbopkg:

Code:

CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /tmp/SBo/transmission-2.84/missing aclocal-1.14 -I m4
/tmp/SBo/transmission-2.84/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.14: command not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.14' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127

transmission:
Would you like to continue processing the rest of the
queue or would you like to abort?  If this failed
package is a dependency of another package in the queue
then it may not make sense to continue.

(Y)es to continue, (N)o to abort, (R)etry the build?:

Code:

$ aclocal --version
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.11.5

I am using slackware 14.1.

Any advice? Why does this slackbuild require a higher version of aclocal?

Could you edit the Slackbuild and add --disable-maintainer-mode option to ./configure?

That's why I'm still using version 2.60, which works fine.

hey
why you do not use bittornado? http://www.bittornado.com/
it's easy to install and easy to use, is more lighter and looks like a linux pro user

sorry my very very bad english.
