Configure script missing (Linux)

wertigon · Post by **wertigon** » Sat Aug 07, 2004 7:35 pm

Hey, I was trying to compile the latest Zsnes (Aug 3 WIP release) but got stuck when I tried to write ./configure - it can't find it.

Running Debian unstable, and I've been able to compile other programs in the past... Someone forgot to put the tar archive together properly or?

And yes, I did go into the zsnes/src/ directory, it still doesn't find it.

./autogen.sh
make

and optionally
make install

The autogen script doesn't work as expected, either.

When I write the command, it complains about aclocal not existing, then shrugs and makes the configure script anyways, then runs it, like this:

Code: Select all

If I comment out the offending code in the configure script (that one + two more), it then looks like this:

The binary will be installed in /usr/local/bin

Configure complete, now type 'make' and pray.

I think it's because I haven't gotten that aclocal program. However, it seems to have been removed from the debian archive, and a quick search at Google gives nothing substantial. Is there an unofficial Zsnes WIP deb-repository I can use, or do I have to do this the hard way?

It looks like you don't have automake. Since you said you're on Debian, try 'apt-get install automake' and rerun autogen.sh

alocal is part of automake or autoconf or one of those families.

Doooooh! I thought I had already installed automake, but it turns out I was wrong. Well, that solved it, compiles fine now. Thanks for the help!

Oh, and you might want to update the installation info to use ./autogen.sh instead... Just a thought. Again, thank you for taking the patience to help a confused debian-guy...
