Thanks, this should be easy to fix.

(-I)  iconv.m4 is provided by the gettext package, you'll need the
development version of that for sure to get this .m4 file.

You can copy the iconv.m4 into the dir where the bootstrap script
resides, or in buildtools/conf.  I'll add some variable so you can add
the system location of the m4 files yourself.

Hi Fabian,

Thanks. I copied the iconv.m4 file to the bootstrap directory. This iconv.m4 was from the libiconv developer version which I also installed  in he monetdb prefix. This seems to work but triggers a lot of other macro errors. Do I need to copy more m4 files? I also still get the AC_MSG_ERROR macro error,

You probably just need updated copies of those macros.  Hard to pinpoint
any cause, you just need an up-to-date toolset in general.

I committed fixes for you here:

Hi Fabian,

Thanks, I downloaded the patch and it  solves the first 2 problems. I now have the M4DIRS variable set and nearly all error messages are gone. There is only one left:

configure.ac:152: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

I googled on this error and there are long of discussion about this, For instance:

http://old.nabble.com/Bug:-%22possibly-undefined-macro:-AC_MSG_ERROR%22-td15811597.html

It looks like some weird version mismatch which is hard to reproduce and leads to frustrating discussions. I will try to update the MacOS autoconf to a newer version and hope this solves the problem,

Regards, Jan.

Hi,

what is going about this issue on Macs? Is there any progress?
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=26996821

I have managed to overcome all but the last problem concerning the
AC_MSG_ERROR. The solution was to copy all .m4 files provided from the
gettext package into the MonetDB build directory.

Thanks,
Babis

Yeah, we need iconv.m4.  It is about time we start offering
pre-bootstrapped tarballs again.

Thanks for letting us know.

Hi Babis,

My installation problems on Darwin are  solved now. The main cause for all problems was a missing pkg-config package on Darwin. This package is not installed on Darwin. I think Darwin uses a utility named pkgutil. I think the configure script should check for the pkg-config installation because the current error message (possibly-undefined-macro:-AC_MSG_ERROR) is not very helpful.

In short I solved the problems by:
- installing pkg-info package (0.25)
- Made pkg.m4 from this package visible by copying to buildtools/conf or adding directory to M4DIRS search path
- Make sure that all <package>.pc file are visible by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Jan Flokstra.

pkg-config is another one to stack on the list to (at least) document as
a requirement.

Thanks

That was it.

I had already pkg-config installed, but not configured accordingly the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH or M4DIRS environment variable. A note on this worths
the cause.

Thank you all,
Babis
