Hello,

I built my own GTK+ hacking sandbox using tarballs of recent releases. Now I am trying to build GTK+ from Git. I did a clone, then tried to run autogen.sh, but I see these errors:

gdk/Makefile.am:187: HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

gtk/Makefile.am:1262: HAVE_INTROSPECTION does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

I already built gobject-introspection from source tarball 1.34.2 for my GTK+ hacking sandbox.

I went back to my GTK+ source tree from 3.6.2 tarball and tried to run autogen.sh. Oddly, I get the same exact errors. When I built GTK+ originally from source tarball 3.6.2, the script configure already existed, so I didn't need to run autogen.sh. Also, I configure'd my GTK+ with --enable-introspection=yes. No complaints during config and build from source tarball was good.

How can I fix this problem? My guess is I have a bad build env, but I don't know what to fix.

Here is my command and full output:
