Make fails with `line 52: aclocal-1.10: command not found`

[disciple]

Building on Puppy Linux with local taglib, make fails like this:

Code: Select all

I definitely haven't modified `acinclude.m4' or `configure.in'. I have aclocal-1.9, but like it says, I shouldn't need aclocal.

If I run make again, it fails with

Code: Select all

Any suggestions?

As I said in the other thread, I think you need a later version of tag-lib

I don't know if this would work, but you could try running configure with:

Code: Select all

  --with-lib-preference   whether to use local and/or system libraries, in
                          order of preference (default="system local")

and changing the order to "local system".

As I said in the other thread, I don't have any system taglib, so it is supposed to be building audacity with a "local" taglib.

That's the trouble with splitting a topic - people (me) don't remember everything that was in the other topic.

so it is supposed to be building audacity with a "local" taglib.

I would have thought so, but I really don't know enough about this kind of stuff.
It may be worth e-mailing the "feedback" address and asking about it there.

Yeah, sorry about that. I thought it was worth posting a second topic as my first error wasn't reported in the other thread.

No worries mate. Do let us know if you find the answer.
