./configure no such file or directory

Asked by Souvik Maji

I am trying to install from source in my fedora system. I have build essentials installed.The readme file says to do the normal configure make isntall routine, though there is no configure script in the development brunch. I did autoconf to generate the configure script. It gives a undefined macro error. I removed the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE missing macro error by enabling m4_patttern_alllow in the configure.in file. But the other undefined macro error is still there. The error says now:
possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_STDC
configure.in:20: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_C_O
configure.in:42: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
configure.in:77: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
configure.in:135: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT
configure.in:136: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION
what to do?

Do you have automake installed? If it was a Ubuntu system I would simply say install autotools-dev package. Not sure what the equivalent is on Fedora.

Please run the autogen.sh script first - ./autogen.sh
This will create the configure script if you have appropriate tools installed.
