[Blitz-support] cvs Build on OS X

[Brian H. <hel...@cl...>]

Hello,

So far I have been using blitz on OS X and been very happy with its  
performance (as good as my own hand-tuned really ugly C code).  It  
fills a giant gaping hole in C++ that has always driven me crazy.   
Anyway, I have two questions.  The first is that I tried to post to  
the list, but I seem to be getting moderated...  Its been about 3  
days now.  Any reason for that?   The real question is concering  
building from CVS on OS X Tiger.  This is the e-mail I tried to send  
3 days ago:

blitz-support,

I saw in past e-mails people have gotten blitz to compile from CVS on  
OS X, but I can't figure it out.  I am running OS X 10.4.1 (Tiger).   
I was able to download from cvs, and I tried autoreconf -fiv, but I  
ran into trouble there.

Tiger comes with autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

and automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.6.3
Written by Tom Tromey <tr...@re...>.

I upgraded automake locally to version 1.9.5, and that fixed some  
problems, (Before doing this I had some problem with the command  
"libtoolize"

Now I get the following error message:

autoreconf -fiv
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4
aclocal:configure.ac:76: warning: macro `AM_DISABLE_SHARED' not found  
in library
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
configure.ac:76: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_DISABLE_SHARED
       If this token and others are legitimate, please use  
m4_pattern_allow.
       See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:77: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1


Sorry if this had been discussed before,  I couldn't find anything in  
the archives.

Brian

P.S. the reason I want to do this is to use the --disable-fortran  
configure flag
