Hi,

I compiled autoconf 2.67 for Fremantle.

How to use it:

Install of course to begin with
Add this to debian/rules

Code:
SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/autoconf:/usr/bin/autom4te:/usr/bin/m4
export SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE
export AUTOM4TE=/usr/bin/autom4te
export AUTOCONF=/usr/bin/autoconf
In case you need debhelper7 too (what is a frequent case), use this instead

Code:
PATH:=/usr/bin/dh7:/usr/bin:$(PATH)
export PATH
SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/bin/perl:/usr/bin/autoconf:/usr/bin/autom4te:/usr/bin/m4
export SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE
export AUTOM4TE=/usr/bin/autom4te
export AUTOCONF=/usr/bin/autoconf
Download
Code:
apt-get install autoconf2.67
This port is a part of MeeCoLay project. Newer build tools are required for compiling some of the MeeGo libraries.

I uploaded a fixed version a few days ago (due to name change some files weren't included in the debs)

I am trying to install bbdb (version 3) on my N900. However, this needs autoconf. When I try to install either 2.67 or the obsolete 2.64 version, I get the error

Code:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  autoconf2.67: Depends: m4 (>= 1.4.8) but it is not installable
I don't seem to have m4 available in the repositories? I am using CSSU Thumb. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
eric

m4 is in the sdk repo. You shouldn't install packages from there unless you know what you're doing

Thanks. Would you please tell me where the sdk repo might be? I cannot seem to find a pointer to it by searching on this forum. I can find the SDK itself but I don't want that.

Thanks! That seems to be it.

However, there's something very strange in my system if I try apt-get update and then apt-get install autoconf2.67. The system says I need to remove 631 packages! And these 631 include some rather essential ones. Needless to say, I'm not accepting this.

I'll find another way to install bbdb.

Thanks again.

And that's why a previous poster replied:

:m4 is in the sdk repo. You shouldn't install packages from there unless you know what you're doing:. You should rarely if ever do an apt-get upgrade with the sdk repository. The sdk repository is designed to be installed on a desktop machine running scratchbox or something similar NOT your phone. if you do install something from sdk it's probably safer to use DPKG the one file from the sdk repository and not to include it even in your list of repositories to begin with. And just to repeat one more time:

You shouldn't install packages from the sdk repository unless you know what you're doing. Seriously.

Yes, I got that!

I was simply surprised that apt-get wanted to remove so many packages just from adding one more repository to the list.

Thanks for the explanation.
