 Posted: Mon Sep 12, 2011 9:24 pm Post subject: Eclipse Autotools: ac-wrapper: Unable to locate any usuab... |
 |
|
I am new to Autotools and I am trying to use them in Eclipse (Indigo) with Eclipse Linux Tools and started with a "Hello World C++ Autotools Project".
When I "Invoke Autoconf" via the context menu it fails:
| Code: |
Invoking autoconf in /home/lars/workspace/testAutotools
sh autoconf
ac-wrapper: Unable to locate any usuable version of autoconf.
I tried these versions: 2.99:2.5 2.98:2.5 2.97:2.5 2.96:2.5 2.95:2.5 2.94:2.5 2.93:2.5 2.92:2.5 2.91:2.5 2.90:2.5 2.89:2.5 2.88:2.5 2.87:2.5 2.86:2.5 2.85:2.5 2.84:2.5 2.83:2.5 2.82:2.5 2.81:2.5 2.80:2.5 2.79:2.5 2.78:2.5 2.77:2.5 2.76:2.5 2.75:2.5 2.74:2.5 2.73:2.5 2.72:2.5 2.71:2.5 2.70:2.5 2.69:2.5 2.68:2.5 2.67:2.5 2.66:2.5 2.65:2.5 2.64:2.5 2.63:2.5 2.62:2.5 2.61:2.5 2.60:2.5 2.59:2.5 2.13:2.1
With a base name of 'autoconf'.

It seems to be the way eclipse calls autoconf. If I invoke autoconf in bash directly it works (well, it would):
| Code: |
autoconf
autoconf-2.68: error: no input file
|
Iif I invoke it like eclipse it fails the same way:
| Code: |
sh autoconf
ac-wrapper: Unable to locate any usuable version of autoconf.
I tried these versions: 2.99:2.5 2.98:2.5 2.97:2.5 2.96:2.5 2.95:2.5 2.94:2.5 2.93:2.5 2.92:2.5 2.91:2.5 2.90:2.5 2.89:2.5 2.88:2.5 2.87:2.5 2.86:2.5 2.85:2.5 2.84:2.5 2.83:2.5 2.82:2.5 2.81:2.5 2.80:2.5 2.79:2.5 2.78:2.5 2.77:2.5 2.76:2.5 2.75:2.5 2.74:2.5 2.73:2.5 2.72:2.5 2.71:2.5 2.70:2.5 2.69:2.5 2.68:2.5 2.67:2.5 2.66:2.5 2.65:2.5 2.64:2.5 2.63:2.5 2.62:2.5 2.61:2.5 2.60:2.5 2.59:2.5 2.13:2.1

Is there a way to work around or fix this? Or maybe I forgot some crucial eclipse settings?

I stumbled upon the same issue. The problem is that due to the way it is called, within the script $0 is set to "autoconf" and not "/usr/bin/autoconf". To fix it, I've patched the script to check for this case.
Try to replace it with the following code:

# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper/files/ac-wrapper-11.sh,v 1.1 2011/06/11 23:37:38 vapier Exp $
# Based on the ac-wrapper.pl script provided by MandrakeSoft
# Rewritten in bash by Gregorio Guidi
#
# Executes the correct autoconf version.
#
# - defaults to newest version available (hopefully autoconf-2.60)
# - runs autoconf 2.13 if:
# - envvar WANT_AUTOCONF is set to `2.1'
# -or-
# - `ac{local,include}.m4' or `configure.{in,ac}' have AC_PREREQ(2.1) (not higher)
# -or-
# - `configure' is already present and was generated by autoconf 2.13
warn() { printf "ac-wrapper: $*\n" 1>&2; }
err() { warn "$@"; exit 1; }
if [ "${0##*/}" = "ac-wrapper.sh" ] ; then
err "Don't call this script directly"
fi
if [ "${WANT_AUTOCONF}" = "2.1" ] && [ "${0##*/}" = "autom4te" ] ; then
err "Autoconf 2.13 doesn't contain autom4te.\n" \
" Either unset WANT_AUTOCONF or don't execute anything\n" \
" that would use autom4te."
fi
# Sanitize $0 in order to protect against stupid ways of calling this script

The only change is that it now sets a variable $script and uses it instead of $0. |
