Re: [GNUnet-developers] Re: [Help-gnunet] trouble with cvs

[Marcos D. Marado Torres]

On my laptop:

gcc version    : gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20031005 (Debian prerelease)
Gnu gmake      : GNU Make 3.80
autoconf       : autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
automake       : automake (GNU automake) 1.7.7
libtool        : ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.3 (1.922.2.111 2002/10/23 02:54:36)

I downloaded the latest version from CVS (an hour ago orso), and there is no
./configure, so I did:

# autoconf
configure.ac:28: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:29: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.ac:46: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
configure.ac:47: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE
configure.ac:50: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
configure.ac:51: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.ac:52: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIB_LTDL
configure.ac:131: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_RESULT
configure.ac:147: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
configure.ac:163: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_LIBGCRYPT
configure.ac:187: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNUNET_SSL_VERSION
configure.ac:437: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNUNET_PATH_GLIB
configure.ac:438: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNUNET_PATH_GTK

Despite of the errors a ./configure was created, but when I run it:

# ./configure
./configure: line 1303: syntax error near unexpected token `GNUnet,'
./configure: line 1303: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(GNUnet, 0.6.0b)'

Any thoughts on how to fix it?
