today i checked out a samba4 copy and i found that there was no configure script included (there are some configure.<suffix> scripts but they all point to ./configure) when i tried to run autogen.sh i got the following (error-)message(s): ./autogen.sh: running script/mkversion.sh ./script/mkversion.sh: 'version.h' created for Samba("4.0.0alpha3-SVN-build-UNKNOWN") ./autogen.sh: running autoheader -I. -Ilib/replace build/m4/check_cc.m4:8: error: AC_REQUIRE: circular dependency of AC_AIX lib/replace/autoconf-2.60.m4:182: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is expanded from... ../../lib/autoconf/specific.m4:432: AC_AIX is expanded from... lib/replace/autoconf-2.60.m4:182: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is expanded from... build/m4/check_cc.m4:8: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 autoheader: '/usr/bin/autom4te' failed with exit status: 1 i'm using autoconf 2.65-3 on a debian squeeze. do you need additional information?
The "./configure" script is created from the "./autogen.sh" script - so the latter has to pass to get the first. >> Samba("4.0.0alpha3-SVN-build-UNKNOWN") Are you using a recent version? This points back to the days when we used SVN. Do you use our recent GIT repository to check out your release? Please use http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO as documentation/howto guide. I think with a recent release (beginning with alpha11) this problem doesn't happen again. Please mark the bug report as "FIXED" then.
Mark this as "INVALID" until we hear us again.
(In reply to comment #2) > Mark this as "INVALID" until we hear us again. > I'm having some strange problems here which make me unable to check what's going wrong but at the moment i'm pretty sure that i checked out an old version of your repository (as you said). I guess this happend because i used an old howto... Using the most recent version via rsync worked fine!
