From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-31 i686) Description of problem: Building CPU 1.3.13 with AUTOCONF=autoconf-2.53 and AUTOMAKE=automake-1.5 fails when invoking "automake-1.5 --gnu src/Makefile". The error messages are: /usr/share/automake-1.5/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.5/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.5/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL /usr/share/automake-1.5/am/lang-compile.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download and unpack cpu 1.3.13. 2. export AUTOCONF=autoconf-2.53 AUTOMAKE=automake-1.5 3. ./configure 4. make Actual Results: Build fails w/above messages. Expected Results: Build should complete normally Additional info: Invoking "automake --gnu src/Makefile" works.
I think you forgot ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.5 ;-) Another way to build without setting environment vars is by either (1) copying/symlinking /usr/share/automake-1.5/missing to missing before running make, or (2) just having MISSING=/usr/share/automake-1.5/missing when running ./configure. automake-1.5 --gnu works fine for me on a fresh tree.
Thanks, ACLOCAL was it. I tried setting MISSING as you suggested in (2) but it didn't work. I'm not running the full beta; I just installed autoconf253/automake15 from the beta onto a (mostly) RH 7.1 system. Do I need to install/upgrade something else?
You need automake15-1.5-2, which is in rawhide now, for that to work.
