[Buildroot] autoreconf fails

[Buildroot] autoreconf fails

[Sven Neumann]

Hi,

with the latest buildroot snapshot, all packages that use autoreconf
fail to compile with this error:

Can't locate Autom4te/ChannelDefs.pm in @INC (@INC
contains: /home/sven/buildroot/build_arm/host_dir/usr/share/autoconf /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /home/sven/buildroot-new/build_arm/host_dir/usr/bin/autoreconf line 42.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted

42.
make: *** [/home/sven/buildroot-new/build_arm/libusb-0.1.12/.unpacked]
Error 2

Any idea how this could be fixed?

Looks like autoconf and automake need to be enabled in the .config file
in order to build packages that use host-autoconf and host-automake.
Shouldn't this option be selected automagically then?

Hi,

I found that my problems were caused by some custom packages in our tree
that had not been updated to use host-pkgconfig. After I fixed that and
started from a fresh tree, the problems were gone. Sometimes it is
really hard to determine the actual root of build problems. I apologize
for the noise I made...
