[Debtags-devel] libapt-front

[Benjamin Mesing]

Hello,

finally thanks to Enrico checking out libapt-front did work. I changed
into libapt-front/trunk and due to a lack of an INSTALL file I simply
tried to run automake (I am not familar with the auto-family). But this
leaded to the errors mentioned below. 

        > automake
        configure.ac: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
        configure.ac: You should verify that configure.ac invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
        configure.ac: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory,
        configure.ac: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal).
        configure.ac: required file `admin/install-sh' not found
        configure.ac: required file `admin/mkinstalldirs' not found
        configure.ac: required file `admin/missing' not found
        Makefile.am: required file `./INSTALL' not found
        apps/Makefile.am: required file `admin/depcomp' not found
        /usr/share/automake-1.7/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCXX does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
        /usr/share/automake-1.7/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
        apt-front/Makefile.am:19: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
        apt-front/Makefile.am:19:
        apt-front/Makefile.am:19: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
        apt-front/Makefile.am:19: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.
        /usr/share/automake-1.7/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCXX does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
        /usr/share/automake-1.7/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
        /usr/share/automake-1.7/am/depend2.am: am__fastdepCXX does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
        /usr/share/automake-1.7/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL


I did also try running autoconf, which leaded to this output:
        > autoconf
        configure.ac:5: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
              If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
              See the Autoconf documentation.
        configure.ac:7: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
        configure.ac:17: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_STDC
        configure.ac:24: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_DISABLE_STATIC
        configure.ac:25: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
