Hi, Now I'm struggling to install linux-firewire-utils and would like to be given any help. I downloaded its source in zipped form from its github page[1]. The README file instructed me that This package uses GNU Autoconf; you can use the standard installation sequence: configure make make install But there wasn't configure file but configure.ac file. Some internet guy advised me that I had to use autoconf command. So I did: [linux-firewire-utils-master]$ autoconf configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:8: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY configure.ac:34: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL [linux-firewire-utils-master]$ ./configure ./configure: line 1935: syntax error near unexpected token `foreign' ./configure: line 1935: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(foreign no-define silent-rules)' [linux-firewire-utils-master]$ make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. I could get configure file and execute it. But there were many errors and finally make command also failed as we can see in above log. I also could find that configure.ac (and Makefile.am which the package has) are the files which a developer use to make one's package with the GNU Automake system. But I have no idea how I can use the files and Automake because I have no experience of program development. Are there any easy way to install this utils from its package? Or It isn't a work for non development person? I would appreciate any advice or suggestion about it. [1] https://github.com/cladisch/linux-firewire-utils Regards, Susie B. |
