Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [ethereal-dev] CVS source tree: configure problems

[Greg Kilfoyle <gregk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've just tried for the first time to checkout the CVS source tree to
configure/build it, and I've run into some problems.

First, when I run autoconf it gives me the following messages:

  kahlan:gregk ~/ethereal/cvs-src/ethereal {1013} autoconf
  configure.in:174: warning: AC_TRY_RUN called without default 
   to allow cross compiling
  autoconf: Undefined macros:
  configure.in:103:       AC_ETHEREAL_PCAP_CHECK
  configure.in:119:        AC_ETHEREAL_ZLIB_CHECK
  configure.in:135:       AC_ETHEREAL_IPV6_STACK
  configure.in:156:       AC_ETHEREAL_UCDSNMP_CHECK
  configure.in:171:AC_ETHEREAL_STRUCT_SA_LEN

If I make a symbolic link from acinclude.m4 to aclocal.m4 the undefined macros
errors disappear.

Next I run ./configure and it complains as follows:

  kahlan:gregk ~/ethereal/cvs-src/ethereal {1016} ./configure
  creating cache ./config.cache
  ./configure: syntax error near unexpected token    
    `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(ethereal,'
  ./configure: ./configure: line 537: 
    `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(ethereal, 0.7.9)'
  kahlan:gregk ~/ethereal/cvs-src/ethereal {1017}

I've tried this on both a Linux RedHat 6.1 system and a NetBSD 1.3 system. They
both give the same errors.

Since this is my first time playing with ethereal CVS sources I may have missed
something.

Any ideas?

Cheers, Greg.
