Error With automake

Asked by Nathan Campos

I've tried to use automake and got this error:

configure.ac:6: required directory ./build-aux does not exist
configure.ac:8: required file `build-aux/config.guess' not found
configure.ac:8: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.guess'
configure.ac:8: required file `build-aux/config.sub' not found
configure.ac:8: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.sub'
configure.ac:7: required file `build-aux/install-sh' not found
configure.ac:7: `automake --add-missing' can install `install-sh'
configure.ac:8: required file `build-aux/ltmain.sh' not found
configure.ac:7: required file `build-aux/missing' not found
configure.ac:7: `automake --add-missing' can install `missing'
src/Makefile.am: required file `build-aux/depcomp' not found
src/Makefile.am: `automake --add-missing' can install `depcomp'

Any idea on how to solve this?

Try:
  autoreconf --install

But, yes. Good point, libsuinput's README is not very clear currently. I'll fix that. It was written for users who'd get libsuinput by downloading source distribution in a tarball, but I'm not actually releasing libsuinput at all. It's distributed only as part of python-uinput and normally users should not need to compile libsuinput manually. Basically the only way to get the source code of libsuinput is by cloning the Git repository and for that purpose, README is not very useful.

Thanks for asking this question. =)
