Problems installing CUnit

[Carl]

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.

I'm trying to install CUnit. I try to follow the instructions in README, but
I'm running into problems and 'make' generates an error. I have pasted the
terminal session below. The commands are run in the CUnit install dir,
CUnit-2.1-2 (the dir containing README, make, Makefile etc.).

I wish to install in /opt/CUnit/ (is this typical? Or what would you
recommend? I try not to have installed applications in my user dir.). My user
doesn't have write access to /opt/, but using 'sudo automake', 'sudo make'
etc. generates the same errors.

Thanks,
Carl

(I replaced the name of my home dir with "<user-dir>".)

make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

I solved it.

I installed libtools. When running make, I then got:

mv: cannot stat `.deps/CUError.Tpo': No such file or directory

After some googling I tried running autoreconf before make, and then it
worked.

[Mian Hamza Ahmad]

I encountered an issue while running make after installing libtools, where I received the following error:
mv: cannot stat `.deps/CUError.Tpo': No such file or directory
After researching the problem, I [[discovered] that running autoreconf before make resolved the issue.
