Make fails in gr-how-to-write-a-block

GNU Radio

So i want to learn how to write a block but it fails to install
apparently.

after doing ./bootstrap and then ./configure

make gives the following message:

libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2.6, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from an older release.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make[3]: *** [howto.lo] Error 63
make[2]: *** [check] Error 2
make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

well it seems i should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool
2.2.6
problem is i dont know how.

Im still using Mac OS X 10.5.6 and i can run the helloworld example so
the
other stuff seems fine.

Seemed simple but i get the same error message after another ./bootstrap
and
./configure during the ./bootstrap it warns me about alot of things:

…/…/lib/autoconf/specific.m4:386: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is expanded
from…
…/…/lib/autoconf/specific.m4:459: AC_MINIX is expanded from…
config/lf_cc.m4:33: LF_CONFIGURE_CC is expanded from…
configure.ac:28: the top level
configure.ac:28: warning: AC_RUN_IFELSE was called before
AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS
configure.ac:28: warning: LTVERSION_VERSION is m4_require’d but not
m4_defun’d
config/libtool.m4:67: LT_INIT is expanded from…
configure.ac:28: warning: LTOBSOLETE_VERSION is m4_require’d but not
m4_defun’d

this over and over, ./configure goes thru just fine without anything
happening but make still refuses due to the same error.

Can you give us the details on your OS, GNU Radio version, installed
libtool and automake verions?

Thanks.

Hello There,

After ./bootstrap and ./ configure when I run make, I am having the
following error in my ubantu 11.10 OS.
Need help

Sanjeeb -

This is a bit confusing. The e-mail you are quoting is from 02/2009…
over
4.5 years ago. We don’t even use autoconf / automake anymore.

What is the problem you are having?

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Sanjeeb,

it looks like there are some leftover make configuration from an older
bootstrap run on another debian version.
Is there any cause why you need to use a very very very old GNU Radio?
