Re: Something wrong with autoreconf?

As of today, I'm having the same problem with basically all packages that use autoconf. I have no idea why that is? I don't remember my last updates...

Re: Something wrong with autoreconf?

Here's a variation of that error message:

Checking for forbidden M4 macros...
***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build Package
  were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden
  macros were found.  Perhaps you need to adjust your
  ACLOCAL_FLAGS?

Re: Something wrong with autoreconf?

Hm... I'm building quite a few subversion packages so I really need this in order. I've been googling alot but haven't found anything helpful. What I've found out so far is that 

echo $ACLOCAL_FLAGS 
-I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal -I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal

but even macros defined in that there are claimed to be not defined.

Here's when trying to build compiz-git:

Re: Something wrong with autoreconf?

you could try export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal -I /usr/share/aclocal"
the majority of the m4 macros are in usr share.

Re: Something wrong with autoreconf?

This is still not working for me. I've narrowed down the problem to autogen.sh-scripts that call gnome-autogen.sh. This is what I get

Checking for required M4 macros...
  libtool.m4 not found
  glib-gettext.m4 not found
  intltool.m4 not found
  pkg.m4 not found
Checking for forbidden M4 macros...

If I export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /opt/gnome/share/aclocal -I /usr/share/aclocal", I simply get

Re: Something wrong with autoreconf?

I solved downgrading to automake 1.9.6, but this actually isn't a solution

It's really starting to annoy me... I'm gonna see if it helps downgrading automake...

Re: Something wrong with autoreconf?

It can't find all m4 files, it complains about intltool.m4 and glib-gettext.m4, AFAIK both are in the intltool package (we're getting rid of intltool makedepends nowadays, packages with a pregenerated configure file can do it with just perlxml).

Yep, this worked for me too. Bugreport here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6466

I have intltool installed. The script does seem to find all the m4 files, but it gives up anyway. I think this can been seen in the last output I've posted.
