Installation error for MacOS

Installation error for MacOS

Closed this issue 7 months ago · 11 comments

I ran the first command of installation in the MacOS terminal:

kbatsuren@ lang-khk % ./autogen.sh

I have the following error:

Initial automake setup of shared-smi
autoreconf: export WARNINGS=
autoreconf: Entering directory '.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal 
Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/autoconf/2.72/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 299.
autoreconf: error: aclocal failed with exit status: 2

Answer 1 · 2024-05-16T14:17:09.000Z

seems to me like perhaps outdated homebrew installation of autoconf or a mismatch between several installed autotools versions (e.g. homebrew and apple's own)

Answer 2 · 2024-05-16T14:29:05.000Z

I see, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Here are my versions of homebrew, autoconf:

kbatsuren@ lang-khk % brew --version
Homebrew 4.3.0
kbatsuren@ lang-khk % autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.72

Do you know which tool versions I should check?

Answer 4 · 2024-05-16T14:30:24.000Z

I actually installed both tools today.

Answer 5 · 2024-05-16T14:34:39.000Z

hmm, this suggests brew install automake https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76852766/error-cant-exec-aclocal-with-homebrew-installed-autoreconf-on-mac

Thank you very much for all the quick help.

But I have the new error for the second command:

kbatsuren@ lang-khk % ./autogen.sh

I also ran this command, but it has the same error as above.

kbatsuren@ lang-khk % git reset --hard
kbatsuren@ lang-khk %  git clean -fx
kbatsuren@ lang-khk % git pull --rebase
Already up to date.
kbatsuren@ lang-khk % ./autogen.sh && ./configure

Answer 8 · 2024-05-16T14:48:58.000Z

Hmm, it should automatically download the required giella-core if it is missing but perhaps it needs to be configured too, something like:

$ cd ../giella-core
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ cd ../lang-khk
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make

Answer 9 · 2024-05-16T15:03:28.000Z

I think this time it is almost installed, but had a new error :(

$ cd ../giella-core
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ cd ../lang-khk
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure

Answer 10 · 2024-05-16T22:02:43.000Z

aha yes, this is probably a missing pkg-config or pkgconf installation

Answer 11 · 2024-05-16T23:55:33.000Z

Thank you so much!

Everything is perfectly installed after installing both pkg-config and pkgconf tools.
