installation error

[yarden]

I'm trying to install mod on Mac OS X. I installed autoconf and related tools using Homebrew:

$ brew install autoconf automake libtool

and then ran into this error:

$ ./bootstrap.sh 
VERSION

      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:121: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_NOTICE
autoreconf: /usr/local/Cellar/autoconf/2.69/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

any ideas on how to fix this? Also, as minor point, the installation instructions refer to ./repo-bootstrap.sh but the script name seems to be bootstrap.sh. Thank you.

I'm not a Mac user, but as far as I know, brew doesn't install the packages in standard folders.
Maybe, if you install by compiling them individually:

curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
tar -xzf autoconf-2.69.tar.gz 
cd autoconf-2.69
./configure && make && sudo make install
 
curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake/automake-1.14.tar.gz
tar -xzf automake-1.14.tar.gz
cd automake-1.14
./configure && make && sudo make install
 
curl -OL http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf libtool-2.4.2.tar.gz
cd libtool-2.4.2
./configure && make && sudo make install

Thanks for reporting. I never really found out what was going on, but this particular issue is technically resolved now as v0.9 uses CMake instead of Autotools. Please open a new issue if the it doesn't work with CMake on Mac. Unfortunately I can not test that scenario.
