Buidling from CVS - bootstrap error

(1/6) > >>

doscott:
I have built wxWindows 2.6.1 using the method shown in http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Compiling_Code::Blocks_in_Linux_%28applies_to_all_distros%29#Getting_the_latest_sources_from_CVS

wx-config --prefix
gives: /opt/wx/2.6

wx-config --libs
gives:-L/opt/wx/2.6/lib -pthread   -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -lwx_gtk2u-2.6

which wx-config
gives:/opt/wx/2.6/bin/wx-config

When I run ./bootstrap I get
[dos@DOS1 codeblocks]$ ./bootstrap
aclocal:configure.in:61: warning: macro `AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG' not found in library
aclocal:configure.in:62: warning: macro `AM_PATH_WXCONFIG' not found in library
configure.in:61: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:62: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_WXCONFIG

Any idea as to what I am doing wrong?

This is on Fedora Core 4.

I have found the probem.

wxwin.m4 was located in

/usr/local/share/aclocal

I copied it to

/usr/share/aclocal

OK, someone else had the same problem.  I've updated the wiki to solve this (moving .m4 files from different wx versions isn't the best thing to do).  I just wrote those steps yesterday so you're probably the first to test them  :)

grv575: Could you provide any link to that update on the wiki? A search on '.m4' turns up nothing...

Thanks

This sets up the configure script and it's dependencies. It only needs to be run once (after downloading the source from cvs). If you get errors like:

aclocal:configure.in:61: warning: macro `AM_OPTIONS_WXCONFIG' not found in library

Then aclocal is having trouble finding the wxWidgets .m4 files. You can do one of two things: To just get bootstrap to find the path this time do:

export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="--acdir=`wx-config --prefix`/share/aclocal"

To change the aclocal search path more permanently do:

echo `wx-config --prefix`/share/aclocal >> /usr/share/aclocal/dirlist

Then aclocal will also search somewhere like /opt/wx/2.6/share/aclocal
