Stuck at autogen.sh

[dcrookston]

Hello,

I'm following the instructions for installing on Debian which I found at this location: https://www.getmangos.eu/wiki/Installation%20Guides/Linux/Debianinstall.md on the 3rd of April 2015. (Providing documentation for someone who might read this thread later.)

Here are my notes on install so far:

root@raskol:~# uname -a

Linux raskol 3.19.1-x86-linode71 #1 SMP Tue Mar 10 15:42:56 EDT 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

Everything ran fine up until I tried to run cmake, which generated the following error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:97 (message):

The parameter PREFIX has been removed. Please re-run CMake and use

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX instead to define your installation location!

I found that CMakeCache.txt had CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/mangos already set, so I checked /home/mangos/server/CMakeLists.txt and found the following (line numbers prepended):

95: # TODO: remove this in the future! it has only been added to make the switch easier for end users

96: if(PREFIX)

97: message(FATAL_ERROR "The parameter PREFIX has been removed. Please re-run CMake and use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX instead to define your installation location!")

98: endif()

so I commented out lines 96-98 and cmake ran fine. Hope this didn't break anything. Afterward cmake, make, and make install all ran fine. Then I changed to ~/server/dep/libmpq (to clarify: I did this as the mangos user) and ran autogen.sh and got the following errors:

./autogen.sh: 11: ./autogen.sh: libtoolize: not found

./autogen.sh: 12: ./autogen.sh: aclocal: not found

./autogen.sh: 13: ./autogen.sh: autoheader: not found

./autogen.sh: 14: ./autogen.sh: automake: not found

./autogen.sh: 15: ./autogen.sh: autoconf: not found

Now you are ready to run ./configure

Am I? Am I ready, little autogen.sh?

I'm not sure what these commands are meant to do... `which libtoolize` shows nothing as expected, and an `updatedb` / `find libtool` turned up nothing either. `apt-cache search libtool` gave a few hits but I'm not sure which I'm supposed to install, if any.

Any hints or suggestions?

I googled libtoolize and found that it's part of the standard libtool package, so I ran apt-get install libtool and rerunning ./autogen.sh got a little farther than last time:

mangos@raskol:~/server/dep/libmpq$ ./autogen.sh

Generating build information using aclocal, autoheader, automake and autoconf

This may take a while ...

libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.

libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'

libtoolize: You should add the contents of the following files to `aclocal.m4':

libtoolize: `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4'

libtoolize: `/usr/share/aclocal/ltoptions.m4'

libtoolize: `/usr/share/aclocal/ltversion.m4'

libtoolize: `/usr/share/aclocal/ltsugar.m4'

libtoolize: `/usr/share/aclocal/lt~obsolete.m4'

libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and

libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree.

libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.

./autogen.sh: 12: ./autogen.sh: aclocal: not found

./autogen.sh: 13: ./autogen.sh: autoheader: not found

./autogen.sh: 14: ./autogen.sh: automake: not found

./autogen.sh: 15: ./autogen.sh: autoconf: not found

Now you are ready to run ./configure

So I'm going to do the same with the rest of these (listed below) and hopefully I can identify which packages were missing from the apt-get install list, and then add them to the instructions I'm using.

libtoolize -- provided with libtool

aclocal

autoheader

automake

autoconf -- all of these were included with the autoconf package

In the end, `apt-get install libtool autoconf` fixed the problem. I have documented this issue here: https://www.getmangos.eu/issue.php?issueid=913
