configure.in error - Grenti - 2011-04-08

after running ./bootstrap I keep getting a configure.in error.

Quote:autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force
autoreconf: configure.in: tracing
autoreconf: running: libtoolize --copy --force
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `build-aux'.

autoreconf: running: automake --add-missing --copy --force-missing
configure.in:1402: required file `${OUTPUT_FILES}.in' not found
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

my system is updated and it doesn't seem that i'm missing a dependency. does anybody have an idea what's causing this?

Hi.

Try
Code:
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake
If you already have them installed, try:

Code:
git reset --hard HEAD
git clean -xfd

Hello,

I tried the above git commands and still end with the same error. I was able to compile last week and now all of the sudden I can't.

If you already successfully compiled XBMC on that machine, there aren't many questions you can ask to find a solution.

Did the dependencies changed? Look at the git log...
Did you changed the system?
Installed/removed something?
Changed the ./configure flags?

Something changed, you just have to figure out what.

Ultimately, try to check out the git source again.

I updated everything and checked to see if I had any missing dependencies.. none

I didn't change anything in the system and didn't install or remove anything except updating the dependencies.

I don't get past ./bootstrap so I haven't changed the ./configure flags.

It's the same error when I check out the git source. I have no idea if it's a problem with my Libtool or involving python2.6. Anyway, I'm building on Hardy.

Thanks for you help.
