MM 7508 fails to build

[pleeke]

Pablo,

I'm trying to build recent MM (rev 7508) and am getting this error;

This is the same/ similar error I was getting here viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2721 but I can't really see what has changed. This is on a Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit host building a 64 bit MM version.

The host server has m4 installed (if its actually needed on the host server);

Code: Select all

pleeke@f8-mythtv:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep m4
ii  m4                                    1.4.13-3                                        a macro processing language
pleeke@f8-mythtv:~$ which m4
/usr/bin/m4

Any ideas?

Thanks
Peter

What changed is that autoconf-2.65 is being built earlier than before, resulting it being built before all the other autotools rather than after. As a result, no longer runs autoreconf, which must be run for the dash patch to take effect. I have updated the dash patch so that autoreconf does not need to be run for it to take effect. I have committed this fix in 7514.

Thanks Pablo, that works fine now. Excellent as always!
