Make the autotools build of libmarpa-sys suck less

Closed this issue · 3 comments

I apparently broke things for everyone not using autotools 1.16 when I ran autoreconf -i so that I could run cargo publish from my computer. Might need to revert that change, but it still won't solve my problem of cargo package failing because it tries to reconfigure libmarpa during make install for some reason.

More exploration needed.

welp, both bdd4846 and 6acf7ab fail, so I'm not sure what's up with autotools 😕

More reports of can/cannot build successfully would be welcome.

Here's what I am seeing on the Revert "autoreconf -i" commit that is the current latest:

For what it's worth, the last building commit for me is at c3acea6

Starting with 4d20f05 I am observing this type of build errors.

Debugging further, my machine has a /usr/bin/aclocal-1.16, while the build is trying to execute a 1.15 executable, and fails. Trying to untangle why there is a version mismatch...
