How to compile network manager ubuntu 8.10

Asked by Mike Parker

I am running Intrepid 8.10 and would like to modify network-manger but I am having trouble building it. I just want to start by making sure I can cleanly build what I am running.

I ran the following commands to get started:

sudo apt-get source network-manager=0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu1.8.10.1

sudo apt-get build-dep network-manager=0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu1.8.10.1

then I tried:

sudo ./autogen.sh

with the following result:

configure.in:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:5: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
configure.in:13: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_C_O
configure.in:15: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.in:60: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT
configure.in:66: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

I am hoping to get a complete description of the build steps in my environment as opposed to just getting past this first error.
