Title: compile version 16.01 from sources
Post by: alexo on January 31, 2016, 05:16:14 pm

Hello,
I'm eager to try the new version of C::B on Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa.
I've downloaded the sources files and run ./configure
all went well and the message says I can run make to build the IDE.

This is the output of the command on my machine:

Code

alessandro@Aspire-5315 ~/Scaricati/codeblocks-16.01.release $ make
 cd . && /bin/bash /home/alessandro/Scaricati/codeblocks-16.01.release/missing automake-1.13 --foreign
/home/alessandro/Scaricati/codeblocks-16.01.release/missing: riga 81: automake-1.13: comando non trovato
WARNING: 'automake-1.13' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'automake' 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/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>
make: *** [Makefile.in] Errore 1

automake is installed and

Code

aclocal --version

gives:

I got the same error message trying to compile C::B 16.01 on Tiny core Linux 6.4.1
Any help?

Many thanks

Do you have any automake installed?
Have you considered making packages?

What version of automake is installed?

Edit: I have both automake1.11 and automake version 1.14.1 installed on my system; something in the past needed version 1.11 no idea what it was.

Code

automake --version

I tried to install from packages but there were a dependency problem both with debian and ubuntu packages.
So I decided a neat install from sources. But I never tried before.

My output of

Code

automake --version

automake (GNU automake) 1.14.1

when i try to auto-complete the 'auto' string in the shell i get this output:

Code

auto
autoconf       autom4te       automake-1.14  autoreconf     autoupdate
autoheader     automake       autopoint      autoscan

is it normal to have both automake and automake-1-14 installed?

I proposed building the packages yourself.
On most systems this process is well automated and handles installing dependencies or at least errors earlier when something is missing.
If we ship the boostrap script you might have some luck running it before running configure.

If you tell me the step by step procedure I can try it.
I don't know anything about package creation. Sorry.

Neither do I know how to make them for mint. But a few days ago with little searching I've learnt how to make ubuntu packages (I'm not an ubuntu/debian user). So it should not be that hard.

The directions I just followed on Debian Jessie https://github.com/stahta01/cb_misc/blob/master/Notes/codeblocks_https_metadata/Build%20wxWidgets-2.8.12%20from%20source%20on%20Debian%20based%20Linux.txt (https://github.com/stahta01/cb_misc/blob/master/Notes/codeblocks_https_metadata/Build%20wxWidgets-2.8.12%20from%20source%20on%20Debian%20based%20Linux.txt)

Just my two cents:
As i understand automake is present on the system but nit detected correctly?

i am no linux build system pro, but you could also try on a fresh source download

Code

./bootstrap
./configure
make

Thanks to you all I solved the problem giving the following commands

Code

automake-1.14.1
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install

but I had to add the line
/usr/local/lib
to /etc/ld.so.conf file
and then running

Code

sudo ldconfig
