LIBTOOL undefined about osxcross

[tpoechtrager]

Hi, I think there is something wrong with your automake installation.

Re-installing automake, autogen, ... may be worth a try:

sudo apt-get remove --purge automake* autoconf* autogen* libtool*
sudo apt-get install automake autoconf autogen libtool

[parnic]

Unfortunately I'm seeing the same problems after running those commands.

[tpoechtrager]

What's your automake version?

[parnic]

automake (GNU automake) 1.14.1

[tpoechtrager]

Weird, automake 1.14.1 works for me on Ubuntu 14.04.

Are you sure no local installed automake / autogen / autoconf/ libtool is overriding your system installed one?

[parnic]

I don't think so. I've never used automake/autogen/autoconf/libtool in my projects so I didn't replace them intentionally. I'll dig around and see what I can find. In case it helps:
libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2
autogen (GNU AutoGen) 5.18
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

cd build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1

then run the following step by step:

aclocal
autoconf
libtoolize -c -i
automake -a -c

what's causing the error?

parnic@orion:~/osxcross/build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1$ aclocal
aclocal: error: 'configure.ac' is required

[tpoechtrager]

Sorry my fault, it's cd build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools.

There are two cctools files in tarballs, cctools-855-ld64-134.9_941a3df.tar.xz and cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1.tar.xz. I've extracted both and neither have a configure.ac in them. The cctools sub-directory does, however, have a configure.ac. Running the 4 above commands in that subdir results in no output/errors. After running those commands, I can ./configure and make successfully, though I'm not sure what to do with the resulting output :).

[tpoechtrager]

Weird... and it doesn't work in build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools ?

[parnic]

Yeah, it appears to work in that child directory, insofar as there are no errors.

parnic@orion:~/osxcross/build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools$ aclocal
parnic@orion:~/osxcross/build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools$ autoconf
parnic@orion:~/osxcross/build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools$ libtoolize -c -i
parnic@orion:~/osxcross/build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools$ automake -a -c
parnic@orion:~/osxcross/build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools$

Then ./configure and make will complete successfully. I just don't know what the next step should be :).

[tpoechtrager]

$ md5sum build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools/configure.ac
99046b161456ea620cc5065a34957d76  build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools/configure.ac

Do you get the same hash sum?

[parnic]

parnic@orion:~/osxcross$ md5sum build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools/configure.ac
99046b161456ea620cc5065a34957d76  build/cctools-855-ld64-236.3_fe05cf1/cctools/configure.ac

Yes.

[tpoechtrager]

Well, I am out of ideas then...
posting the output of OCDEBUG=1 ./build.sh may be helpful though.

BTW: Are you on an IRC network? May be easier to help you there.

[parnic]

Posted.

Yes, I'm Parnic on Freenode and Efnet.

Thanks a ton for the very fast help. I had some incorrect build of aclocal in my /usr/local/bin directory that was interfering with this build script.
