macro `AM_PATH_ALSA' not found in library

macro `AM_PATH_ALSA' not found in library

[Lee Revell]

I have a script that builds alsa-lib and alsa-utils for an embedded
platform.

It works perfectly on all my Ubuntu machines.  But when I try it on an
FC4 box, alsa-lib builds correctly, but alsa-utils fails like so:

config.status: executing depfiles commands
cd . && /bin/sh /home/lee/perforce/Alchemy/ppc/linux/rootfs/filesystem/packages/alsa-utils-1.0.11/missing --run aclocal-1.9 -I m4
aclocal:configure.in:30: warning: macro `AM_PATH_ALSA' not found in library
 cd . && /bin/sh /home/lee/perforce/Alchemy/ppc/linux/rootfs/filesystem/packages/alsa-utils-1.0.11/missing --run automake-1.9 --foreign
cd . && /bin/sh /home/lee/perforce/Alchemy/ppc/linux/rootfs/filesystem/packages/alsa-utils-1.0.11/missing --run autoconf
configure.in:30: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_ALSA
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
make: *** [configure] Error 1

What is AM_PATH_ALSA?  How can I make it work?

OK, I've tried to resolve this by having my script run "cvscompile".
But it stops at:

"Copying file m4/xsize.m4

Please run 'aclocal -I m4' to regenerate the aclocal.m4 file.
You need aclocal from GNU automake 1.5 (or newer) to do this.
Then run 'autoconf' to regenerate the configure file.

You might also want to copy the convenience header file gettext.h
from the /usr/share/gettext directory into your package.
It is a wrapper around <libintl.h> that implements the configure
--disable-nls
option.

Press Return to acknowledge the previous two paragraphs."

I cannot press return here because I must be able to build
non-interactively using a script.

How can I silence these warnings?  Even if I run "aclocal -I m4" then
"autoconf" I still get this prompt on the next build.

AM_PATH_ALSA is an m4 macro for alsa-lib.  It must be installed in
standard path for autoconf before building alsa-utils.

Try to run "autoreconf -fi" then "make", instead.
