Hi=20 =20 I just installed MinGW 5.0.2 and MSYS 1.0.10 and because some of the=20 programs I'm working on require autoconf 2.59, I decided to install=20 them. That did not work with the binary (scripts referring to perl in an=20 invalid place), so I decided to go from the sources. The configure=20 script went just fine, but when I call make, it fails with this output:=20 =20 Making all in m4sugar=20 make[2]: Entering directory=20 `/d/prog/Libs/msys-autoconf-2.59-src/lib/m4sugar'=20 ../../tests/autom4te \=20 --language=3Dm4sugar \=20 --freeze \=20 --output=3Dm4sugar.m4f=20 Le chemin d'acc=E8s sp=E9cifi=E9 est introuvable.=20 autom4te: need GNU m4 1.4 or later: /bin/m4=20 make[2]: *** [m4sugar.m4f] Error 1=20 make[2]: Leaving directory=20 `/d/prog/Libs/msys-autoconf-2.59-src/lib/m4sugar'=20 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1=20 make[1]: Leaving directory `/d/prog/Libs/msys-autoconf-2.59-src/lib'=20 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1=20 =20 The part in French says "The specified path cannot be found". I don't=20 understand as the m4 I have is in /bin/m4 and its version is 1.4=20 =20 Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.=20 Regards=20 |

I don't > understand as the m4 I have is in /bin/m4 and its version is 1.4 M4sugar does also require perl, I believe; this is probably the cause of the error, because without msysDTK, you don't have it. > Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Download and install the msysDTK. That will install an MSYS compatible perl, and IIRC also an MSYS build of M4, where m4sugar can use them. Autoconf 2.59 should then build OOTB. Regards, Keith. |

Sorry for bothering you guys, it's now working just fine. Cheers Olivier |

My bad. The best approach is usually to install as is, and then update the *components*, for which you need newer versions. >> M4sugar does also require perl, I believe; this is probably the cause >> of the error, because without msysDTK, you don't have it. > > Well, I installed ActivePerl myself, as the configure script said it > required perl. AIUI, the reason Earnie bundled perl with msysDTK is because native Win32 implementations, such as ActivePerl, just don't play nicely with MSYS. >> Download and install the msysDTK.

Good. > Sorry for bothering you guys, it's now working just fine. No need to apologise; we're glad to be able to help. BTW, I noticed that you also posted to the MSYS forum. I'm seriously considering winding that down. Keep future questions on the list; you will generally get a better response. Regards, Keith. |
