#320 "make" from the released 16.01 version tries to run autotools

[Mojca Miklavec]

When building codeblocks from the released tarball, the build fails, most likely due to some timestamping problems in the tarball (I have a newer version of aclocal installed, so aclocal-1.13 is indeed missing):

Executing:  cd "/path/to/codeblocks-16.01.release" && /usr/bin/make -j2 -w all 
make: Entering directory `/path/to/codeblocks-16.01.release'
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /path/to/codeblocks-16.01.release/missing aclocal-1.13 -I m4
/path/to/codeblocks-16.01.release/missing: line 81: aclocal-1.13: command not found
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.13' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'aclocal' 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/autoconf>
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>

I am able to build C:B SVN trunk code on Linux using either of the three methods (make , debian make and via workspace). It looks like not all of the required tools were installed, probably because the Wiki pages do not say to install some of them.

I have build C::B on LinusMint 20.3 and Xubuntiu 20.04 with the "latest" GCC 11.2 and tools in Jan 2022.

Any updates on this ticket?

Six years old thread and C::B version, no more reports in recent releases.
