Title: Issue running configure. (Solved)
Post by: moxiewhimsy on July 03, 2009, 02:40:59 am

I'm sure this issue can easily be solved by something I'm overlooking, but I have an issue compiling version 2.3.

version:
I've checked out revision 24949 via svn.

System:
most of my uname string is:
2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 22:12:12 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
This is a laptop with intel integrated x3100 graphics—Though that isn't even an issue yet.

Anything else that would be helpful?

Issue:
I run svn up followed by ./configure.
When I run ./configure after a couple screens it returns the following error:

Code: [Select]

configure: error: For current build options, pkg-config is required. Did you maybe forget to run aclocal with the current include path?
I tried running aclocal in place—I'm not actually sure what's this is for, aclocal.m4 is in our directory already.

Also, I've checked to be sure that pkg-config is installed. Is there further configuration needed here?

I've attached the output of configure.
What should I do from here?

I wish it was that simple...

pkg-config is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I tried both build-deps and reinstalling pkg-config as well, but to no avail. Is there a pkg-config-dev somewhere I'm missing? Should I downgrade pkg-config?

Okay I went through the configure file and found six places where that same message is returned. With some easily removed markers I narrowed down which one is referenced.

It's line 8980 of the current configure file; the second of the message "For current build options…include path?" (the one of the two without $LINENO) under the remarked heading # Check Vorbis.

Now can anyone tell me what I need to do?

Line 8980 of configure is a fi for me...

Here is a docu about compiling on debian (http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Debian) (and similar) systems (with a list of prerequiestes).

Thanks.

I'm beginning to think this is a problem with my installation. I'll have to try with a clean one and get back to you.

Heh. It was, in fact simply the configure file. I don't remember editing it before starting, but I must've because

Code: [Select]

rm configure
svn up
fixed it.

Your comment that the line doesn't match is what got me thinking.
