Hi,

I am trying to build couchdb on a CentOS release 6.4 (Final).

The commands I used:

  • git clone git://github.com/iriscouch/build-couchdb
  • cd opt/build-couchdb
  • git submodule init
  • git submodule update && rake git="git://git.apache.org/couchdb.git tags/1.3.1"

The problem:

STDOUT  rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc
STDERR /home/joscha/opt/build-couchdb/dependencies/automake-1.11.2/doc/automake.texi:13042: @itemx must follow @item
STDERR /home/joscha/opt/build-couchdb/dependencies/automake-1.11.2/doc/automake.texi:13059: @itemx must follow @item
STDERR /home/joscha/opt/build-couchdb/dependencies/automake-1.11.2/doc/automake.texi:13065: @itemx must follow @item
STDERR mv: target `.//home/joscha/opt/build-couchdb/dependencies/automake-1.11.2/doc/' is not a directory
STDOUT make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/automake_build20130822-3912-ni4ilb/doc'
STDERR make[1]: *** [/home/joscha/opt/build-couchdb/dependencies/automake-1.11.2/doc/automake.info] Error 1
STDERR make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
STDOUT Resetting changes automake made to itself: /home/joscha/opt/build-couchdb/dependencies/automake-1.11.2
STDERR git checkout HEAD .
STDERR rake aborted!

here is the tail from rake.log: http://pastebin.com/RL0Snjk6

Any ideas what I did wrong?

Thanks

Hi. What about git submodule update --init --recursive? Failing that, I wonder if it is some issue with the automake build on CentOS.

Hi, thanks for your comment. I tried it but I got the same error message.

same problem here on debian testing.

jhs commented

I just made some changes to the autotools code, pushed five days ago. Do those fix your problem @zippelmann?

@mavu is it possible for you to gist or pastebin the entire rake.log output? Thanks!

sejoharp commented

@jhs sorry, it is still the same error message.

Similar (same?) issue here while building on RHEL (OpenShift):

mv: cannot move `.am90773/autoconf.info' to `.//var/lib/openshift/529d45154382eccdf500030a/build-couchdb/dependencies/autoconf-2.69/doc/': No such file or directory

On Ubuntu 13.10, similar issue with automake

mv: target ‘.//usr/local/src/build-couchdb/dependencies/automake-1.11.2/doc/’ is not a directory
make[1]: *** [/usr/local/src/build-couchdb/dependencies/automake-1.11.2/doc/automake.info] Error 1

This fixed it for me: #77 (comment). You'll also want to do the same thing for autoconf-2.69/doc/Makefile.am (comment line 22).

Same problem.
