I found out that
AC_PROG_MKDIR_P is defined only on autoconf 2.60, while
gnuradio requires only autoconf 2.57 and above.
After a google search, I found this patch:
AC_PROG_MKDIR_P
is a backport of autoconf-2.60’s AC_PROG_MKDIR_P.
Remove this macro when we can assume autoconf >= 2.60.
m4_ifdef([AC_PROG_MKDIR_P], [], [
AC_DEFUN([AC_PROG_MKDIR_P],
[AC_REQUIRE([AM_PROG_MKDIR_P])dnl defined by automake
MKDIR_P=’$(mkdir_p)’
AC_SUBST([MKDIR_P])])])
AC_PROG_MKDIR_P
I put this in the configure.ac file and it seems that it works now.
I have no idea about these programs, so can someone apply this/or a more
appropriate fix.
Thanks

====================================================
After a bit of searching I think the problem is as follows:
Since AC_PROG_MKDIR_P is reported undefined, this propagates to the
corresponding Makefiles,
eg in
gnuradio-corse/docs/Makefile
which contains the line
MKDIR_P =
so later on when it tries to execute
$(MKDIR_P) html
in order to create the html directory it executes instead
html
thus the error in make.
So my question is now, why in the first place this happens, and
secondly,
what is the best way to fix it.
Thanks

I am trying to install gnuradio from trunk to a
“Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 5 (Tikanga)”
Bootstrap gives the following error:
configure.ac:85: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_MKDIR_P
If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
Then configure executes with the following error messages
caen-vnc04% ./myconf > foo.log
./configure: line 5091: AC_PROG_MKDIR_P: command not found
pgf77-Error-Unknown switch: -print-search-dirs
configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don’t use
–host.
If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be
used.
Finally, make stops with the following message:
make[4]: Entering directory
/afs/umich.edu/user/a/n/anastas/gnuradio_trunk_test/gnuradio-core/doc' html make[4]: html: Command not found make[4]: *** [prep] Error 127 make[4]: Leaving directory/afs/umich.edu/user/a/n/anastas/gnuradio_trunk_test/gnuradio-core/doc’

I don’t know why “html” is needed or what it is, but apparently cannot
be found.
Any ideas?
