install fails on cygwin

[johndeighan]

Here is the last bit of output from ../configure:

checking the archiver (ar) interface... ar
checking whether ln -s works... yes
../configure: line 4202: syntax error near unexpected token `dlopen'
../configure: line 4202: `LT_INIT(dlopen shared)'

I've attached all the output from cygwin. I've installed all prerequisites, and then some. Just about anything that sounds like any of the required packages. It would be really great if someone could just provide a Windows binary so we wouldn't have to go through all this pain ;-)

First, thanks for including the entire output in the email. Deeply appreciated. The bad news is that it’s been forever since I used windows or cygwin, and I don’t have access to a window box, so this will be difficult to help with. And the error messages aren’t that helpful either: extensions/bit/Makefile.am:36: error: Libtool library used but 'LIBTOOL' is undefined extensions/bit/Makefile.am:36: The usual way to define 'LIBTOOL' is to add 'LT_INIT' extensions/bit/Makefile.am:36: to 'configure.ac' and run 'aclocal' and 'autoconf' again. extensions/bit/Makefile.am:36: If 'LT_INIT' is in 'configure.ac', make sure extensions/bit/Makefile.am:36: its definition is in aclocal's search path. My configure script says “LT_INIT(dlopen shared)” so the invocation’s good but the “make sure its definition is in aclocal’s search path” makes it sound like an installation issue. Could you please try something like: autoreconf --install -v -d --warnings=all My output starts with: aclocal: found macro LT_INIT in m4/libtool.m4: 61 aclocal: ignoring macro LT_INIT in /opt/local/share/aclocal/libtool.m4: 61 This file should have something like: # LT_INIT([OPTIONS]) # ------------------ AC_DEFUN([LT_INIT], [AC_PREREQ([2.62])dnl We use AC_PATH_PROGS_FEATURE_CHECK AC_REQUIRE([AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR_DEFAULT])dnl AC_BEFORE([$0], [LT_LANG])dnl AC_BEFORE([$0], [LT_OUTPUT])dnl AC_BEFORE([$0], [LTDL_INIT])dnl m4_require([_LT_CHECK_BUILDDIR])dnl The docs for LT_INIT don’t say anything specific for cygwin: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/LT_005fINIT.html#LT_005fINIT <https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/LT_005fINIT.html#LT_005fINIT> https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Configure-notes.html#Configure-notes <https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Configure-notes.html#Configure-notes> Does cygwin ship with libtool or do you have to installed it? Thanks, Phil

Cygwin did not come with libtool installed. I installed it, recloned the repo and got past the error. Unfortunately, make ended up failing. I'm attaching all the output, starting with removing the libslax directory.

Next, I ran the command line that you sent me and it seems to report some problems. The output of that is short enough that I'll just paste it in here. Next, I'll see if something named 'autopoint' can be installed:

johnd@DEIGHAN-LAPTOP ~/libslax/build
$ autoreconf --install -v -d --warnings=all
autoreconf-2.69: running: /usr/bin/autoconf-2.69 --version | sed 1q >&2

autoreconf-2.69: running: libtoolize --version | sed 1q >&2

autoreconf-2.69: 'configure.ac' or 'configure.in' is required

You have to be at the top of the source tree (not in the “build” dir) to run autoreconf. Thanks, Phil

Oops... sorry.
I installed something called autogen and also autobuild, but could find no autopoint. I rebuilt everything, but the same errors are there. Both the log from that and the output from running autoreconf from the libslax directory are attached.
