[Speex-dev] Compiling the latest SVN checkout

[Björn Thalheim]

Hello,

I just checked out the latest version of speex and I want to compile it.
The INSTALL file says that's easy:

bjoern at deimos:~/studium/beleg/resources/svn/speex$ cat INSTALL
Installing Speex is as easy as:
% ./configure [--prefix=<install-path>]
% make
% make install
Note that if you are using the code from SVN, you will need to run
"autogen.sh" instead of "configure".

So I tried that.

bjoern at deimos:~/studium/beleg/resources/svn/speex$ ./autogen.sh
checking for autoconf...
checking for automake 1.8 or later... automake
checking for aclocal 1.8 or later... aclocal
checking for libtool... libtoolize
I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.
Generating configuration files for Speex, please wait....
  aclocal
aclocal:configure.ac:32: warning: macro `AM_PROG_LIBTOOL' not found in
library
  autoheader
  libtoolize --automake
  automake --add-missing
libspeex/Makefile.am:9: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
libspeex/Makefile.am:9:
libspeex/Makefile.am:9: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add
`AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
libspeex/Makefile.am:9: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and
`autoconf' again.
bjoern at deimos:~/studium/beleg/resources/svn/speex$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Obviously, somthing fails here when calling the autogen-Script. I have a
/usr/local-installation of automake, which is Version 1.9, this thing
also provides me aclocal version 1.9:

bjoern at deimos:~/studium/beleg/resources/svn/speex$ aclocal --version
aclocal (GNU automake) 1.9

Yes the source code is nice, but I would really like to compile it ;-) I
googled for this error, but doing that doesn't help because everybody
has such problems but nobody seems to have a solution.

Regards,

Björn


PS: of course I could read the aclocal and automake manpages for hours,
but I still hope that I won't have to do that.
