Hi everyone,
recently, I have tried to build the geany-plugins from the git repository on my Ubuntu 22.04 system. So, I installed autotools and the build essentials packages and tried to follow the instructions given in the readme.
it fails right at the beginning though with both the configure and autogen.sh calls.
./configure results in:
configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: compile missing install-sh
./autogen.sh results in:
configure.ac:16: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:17: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: error: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: compile missing install-sh
it also states that I should run aclocal, but that doesn't seem to change anything
You should update your 'aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.
I've put the full terminal output here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HnXXFmqjdk/
Am I missing something that I need to install or pass to those calls? The readme isn't that informative about what is required to actually build the plugins.
Hope someone can help me.
Best regards,
Fireclaw
Hello,
My name is Sylvain Cresto.
While looking for a good programmer's text editor, I discovered Geany a
short time ago.
I like developing in C so I'll try to write some improvements, starting
with some plugins.
