I'm trying to build FreeSurfer from source on my Debian 8 (jessie) system. (64 bit, using g++ 4.9 for compilation)
After $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fsvm.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/usr/fscvsroot login $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fsvm.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/usr/fscvsroot checkout -P dev $ cd dev $ cvs update -d # just to make sure $ ./setup_configure
I get these messages:
rm -rf autom4te.cache libtoolize --force libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `config'. libtoolize: linking file `config/ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in `m4'. libtoolize: linking file `m4/libtool.m4' libtoolize: linking file `m4/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: linking file `m4/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: linking file `m4/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: linking file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4' libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. aclocal aclocal: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in' aclocal: error: configure.in:2045: file 'm4/autotroll.m4' does not exist
Which looks like a not-(anymore)supported use of autoconf? I found one previous message on the list about autotroll https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2012-January/021854.h... that provided another version of configure.in which might solve the issue.
And it did in the original case but sadly not for me. I get the same error message also with the new configure.in -- there should probably be a configure.ac?
If anyone knows how to make this work (e.g. by modifying the configure script) that would be fantastic.
