procenv

having a problem compiling code under Ubuntu 12.04

Asked by roger sibert on 2012-11-25

Using Jenkins build sever for the output but see much of the same thing when running everything by hand from the command prompt.

What I was trying to figure is what version of build software procenv is designed for/built against. Im not great at chasing this sort of thing but its looking like either a version problem at that point a build environment on my end.

Thanks,
Roger

'reconf' isn't included in the distribution. The easiest way to build it is to download an official release, for example https://launchpad.net/procenv/trunk/v0.14/+download/procenv-0.14.tar.gz.

Then, do the following:

tar xvfz procenv-0.14.tar.gz
cd procenv-0.14
./configure && make && sudo make install

If you have checked out the bzr branch, I'd just call 'autoreconf -fi' from the top-level directory before following the process above.

The setup was for a Jenkins CI server specifically to use the bzr branch in case there was something beyond release that was needed.

The build options used for Jenkins job look like this

autoreconf -fi
./reconf
./configure
make

Adding in the autoreconf -fi took care of the build problem

Thanks James Hunt, that solved my question.
