Title: [Linux]Error when building .deb package for rev2526
Post by: Michael on June 04, 2006, 06:18:23 pm
Hello,

I am trying to build a .deb package of revision 2526 (Ubuntu 6.06, GCC 4.0.3), but I get the following error:

Quote
creating libastyle.la
(cd .libs && rm -f libastyle.la && ln -s ../libastyle.la libastyle.la)
make[5]: *** No rule to make target `astyle/compiler_defines.h', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/michael/codeblocks/trunk'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2

I have tried to do a ./configure --enable-contrib, but it did not solve the problem.

Any idea?

Thank you.

Best wishes,
Michael

Delete this file - it was removed in revision 2523.

Hello,

Thank you for the help.

After checking the file astyle/compiler_defines.h is not present (it has probably been already removed). May be the makefile has not been updated.

Best wishes,
Michael

It seems that I needed:

1) sudo aclocal
2) sudo ./bootstrap
3) sudo ./configure --enable-contrib

Now it seems to build fine :).

Best wishes,

1) sudo aclocal
2) sudo ./bootstrap
3) sudo ./configure --enable-contrib

The real question is why weren't you doing this from start? Maybe I am paranoid but I have always been suspicious that autotool created build files will work after an update.  So I have figured you need to regenerate the build system after each update.

I don't think the aclocal is needed I would do:
Code
make distclean
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-contrib
make
sudo make install # sudo only need if install system wide

By the way, why do you have to be root to bootstrap and configure?  Is that do to the package building environment?

When I have tried to build a .deb package of rev2526 (with the changes suggested by daniel2000), I got an error. I have remarked that sometime re-doing a ./configure solved the problem. Anyway, not in this case. So, I have re-done a ./bootstrap to regenerate all. But during the bootstrap, I was told to do an aclocal.

Anyway, I am still learning Linux :).

I was told to run aclocal (I never run it before).

No, probaly just a mistake from my part :(.

./bootstrap is running aclocal, so I think either that it's not necessary to run it by your own :)

You don't trust autotools  :twisted:
Usually autotools does what it should, regenerate the build system if needed. But I think there are scenarios where autotools needs a manual regeneration of the build system. But I never had problems with autotools due to an outdated build system.

Hello,

Ok, I understand :). Anyway, ./bootstrap asked me to run aclocal....so I did as it wanted..... :roll:
