This may be caused by the upgrade to automake 1.16.2.

[neteler]

Did you use autoreconf-2.13?

[sebastic]

No, just autoconf (2.69).

[sebastic]

Using autoconf2.13 works when using a wrapper that ignore the arguments, as --force, --verbose and --debug (among others) are not supported by this old version.

[neteler]

I think we are still stuck at autoreconf-2.13 (which is strangely missing from https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/blob/master/REQUIREMENTS.html - any idea @landam or anyone else?).

Does anyone have experience in upgrading from autoreconf-2.13 to autoreconf-2.69?

[sebastic]

As reported in Debian Bug #992810, autoconf2.13 is obsolete and orphaned in Debian. It should not be used any more.

What needs to happen to make GRASS work with newer autoconf?

2.13 is likely to be removed, that would make building GRASS on Debian impossible.

@sebastic Would #1845 solve this issue?

[sebastic]

The changes from #1845 fail to apply to 7.8.6-RC2, so I cannot test them with the Debian package.

Is backporting those changes to 7.8.x feasible?

[nilason]

The changes from #1845 fail to apply to 7.8.6-RC2, so I cannot test them with the Debian package.

Is backporting those changes to 7.8.x feasible?

Backporting it shouldn’t be a problem, the question of making that big a change at this stage for 7.8.6 is another matter. If you are willing to test a backported draft PR just for testing the concept I’m more than glad to put up one.

[sebastic]

The DESTDIR change was not appropriate for the 7.8 patch release either, so I'd be fine with the autoconf changes for 7.8.

With Markus still recovering, it seems unlikely that a 7.8.6 or 8.0.0 release will happen any time soon.

If the changes are backported to 7.8 I'll gladly carry the patch in the Debian package until the release in which they're included.

Well, we are discussing how to coordinate this. At least 7.8.6, should be released soon. We might have a video call next Tuesday September 14th. Link will be posted in grass-dev mailing list soon before the meeting.

[nilason]

@sebastic With #1867, autoconf version of G7.8 branch has been bumped to 2.69. Please check it out.

[sebastic]

Thanks for the backport, that fails with autoconf 2.71 though:

configure: exit 1

[nilason]

Thanks for the backport, that fails with autoconf 2.71 though:

Will look into this, however what draws my immediate attention is the the fact that with 2.70 or 2.71 the filename configure.in became obsolete. I intentionally (for some reason) skipped that rename to the 7.8 branch. Do you have the possibly to try with 2.69?

[nilason]

Sorry, now I browsed all the quoted log, you already did 2.69.

[nilason]

There seems to be leftovers with 2.69 from trying with 2.71:

...
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.71.  Invocation command line was

With 2.69 I get:

autoreconf -f -i -v
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'

There seems to be leftovers with 2.69 from trying with 2.71:

That's not it, every run was done in a new chroot session.

I rather think that autoconf2.69 is not really version 2.69, it depends on autoconf unlike autoconf2.13, suggesting that it uses it.

It works in a bullseye chroot with autoconf (2.69-14), but that doesn't help for the Debian package which targets unstable.

[nilason]

Could you try #1870?

[nilason]

With #1870 and autoconf 2.71 I get:

Forcing autoreconf to use autoconf2.69, autom4te2.69, and autoheader2.69 instead of only autoconf2.69 works for Debian unstable.

It still fails with autoconf (2.71-2) after applying the changes from #1870:

At least some progress. I get a similar result though. Something is not working with AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR. Looking into it.

[nilason]

I just pushed an update to #1870, which solved the latest issue for me. Please try that.

[sebastic]

That works for me with autoconf (2.71-2) on Debian unstable too. Very happy that --runstatedir no longer triggers an error.

That is indeed great news, thanks a bunch for your cooperation! I just merged #1870 to the 7.8 branch. Please close this issue if you think it has been resolved.

[nilason]

I see 7.8.6 on Debian is out, seemingly without patches related to this reported issue. Closing.
