Version: cvs 20030803 (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc OS: Linux The template "c->simple hello world" looks broken Build projects stops with this error message : * cd /home/user/test && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6="1" gmake -f Makefile.cvs * autoconf * aclocal-1.7 * aclocal: configure.in: 8: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in library * gmake: *** [all] Error 1 * *** Exited with status: 2 *** The magic line "make -f Makefile.cvs" doesn't work either. It looks like the auto-tools scripts for this template are obsolete, aren't they ? this bug was seen with gideon cvs 20030803 on redhat automake 1.7.5 autoconf 2.57 and also with gideon alpha 5 on debian automake 1.7.6 autoconf 2.13
Do you have libtool installed?
Yes. By the way the c++ kde template "simple application framework" works fine, and it uses libtool. concerning my libtool installation, I have the following redhat rpms : libtool-1.4.3-5 libtool-libs13-1.3.5-7 libtool-libs-1.4.3-5
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL and AC_PROG_LIBTOOL are the correct ways to instantiate libtool. Is the file libtool.m4 inside your aclocal's (aclocal-1.7) directory?
Your are right, I don't have the file libtool.m4 in my aclocal-1.7 directory. It looks like I have to reinstall libtool, then ? (why does my config work for compiling other programs and not this template ?)
It looks like the problem was found. Closing.
