[gnome-freebsd] Automake problems

[Ross Golder <ross golder org>]

Flipping heck!

Trying to build glib2 from CVS on a FreeBSD-5.0-CURRENT box. Have
installed pkgconfig-0.8.0, autoconf-2.52, automake-1.4-p4, libtool-1.4.2
(all into /usr). When trying to build glib CVS HEAD, I get...

[rossg xavier glib]$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in
library
aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_PATH_PROG_WITH_TEST' not found in
library
aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_LC_MESSAGES' not found in library
autoheader: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found in configure.in
configure.in: 67: required file `./config.h.in' not found
configure.in:64: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:67: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.in:81: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
configure.in:126: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
configure.in:196: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_STDC
configure.in:270: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT
configure.in:293: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
configure.in:294: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.in:579: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_FUNC_VSNPRINTF_C99
./configure: 1031: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

Now type 'make' to compile GLib.

Line 1031 in configure seems to be an unparsed 'AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' call.
It seems that automake isn't finding 'AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE', which is
defined in /usr/share/local/init.m4

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be pleased to hear them!

TIA,
