module-init-tools 0.9.3 -- "missing" issue

[ALESSANDRO.SUARDI]

As per the README...

[asuardi@dolphin module-init-tools-0.9.3]$ aclocal
[asuardi@dolphin module-init-tools-0.9.3]$ automake --add-missing --copy
Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'

So - it complains about 'missing' not knowing the --run option. Indeed:

[asuardi@dolphin module-init-tools-0.9.3]$ ./missing --help
./missing [OPTION]... PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...

Handle `PROGRAM [ARGUMENT]...' for when PROGRAM is missing, or return an
error status if there is no known handling for PROGRAM.

Options:

  -v, --version   output version information and exit

Supported PROGRAM values:
  aclocal      touch file `aclocal.m4'
  autoconf     touch file `configure'
  autoheader   touch file `config.h.in'
  automake     touch all `Makefile.in' files
  bison        create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch]
  flex         create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c
  lex          create `lex.yy.c', if possible, from existing .c
  makeinfo     touch the output file
  yacc         create `y.tab.[ch]', if possible, from existing .[ch]
[asuardi@dolphin module-init-tools-0.9.3]$


Unfortunately I'm a newbie in the new module-init-tools && little time to
 dig deeper, so take this as a very simple report. Thanks,

Hi ALESSANDRO.SUARDI!

I'd say your automake is too old or too new. Not sure.

RedHat 8.0 comes with automake 1.5 and 1.6.3 - both yield the same result.

[Rusty Lynch]

I see the same thing on my RH 8.0 box (autoconf 2.53).   I can still build, I just get the warning.  Although it looks like autoconf
does this by design because after running aclocal my aclocal.m4 has some extra code added to the end that causes this ==>

# AM_MISSING_HAS_RUN
# ------------------
# Define MISSING if not defined so far and test if it supports --run.
# If it does, set am_missing_run to use it, otherwise, to nothing.
AC_DEFUN([AM_MISSING_HAS_RUN],
[AC_REQUIRE([AM_AUX_DIR_EXPAND])dnl
test x"${MISSING+set}" = xset || MISSING="\${SHELL} $am_aux_dir/missing"
# Use eval to expand $SHELL
if eval "$MISSING --run true"; then
  am_missing_run="$MISSING --run "
else
  am_missing_run=
  AC_MSG_WARN([`missing' script is too old or missing])
fi
])

Hmm, you don't need to run aclocal, automake and autoconf if you don't
alter the sources.  I have altered the README to put that at the
bottom:

5) If you want to hack on the source:
	aclocal && automake --add-missing --copy && autoconf

Thanks for the report!
Rusty.

Thanks for the clarification. Just wanted to add that following
  Rusty Lynch's hint to ignore the 'missing' issue I successfully
  installed 0.9.3 and they appear to work on 2.5.51 (I was able
  to modprobe vfat - but not the full irda stack, I'll report this
  separately to Jean) _and_ on 2.4.20 (modular IrDA and PPP are
  channeling this message to you - loaded by 0.9.3 :).

I'd appreciate receiving a copy of that irda report.  It's probably
not Jean's fault.

Thanks,
Rusty.

	I've just managed to load and run Linux-IrDA on 2.5.51, and
apart from a few warning (see my other e-mail) it was working. I even
tested PPP over IrCOMM. But I didn't check smc-ircc.
	So, this one might be *mine* ;-)

	Have fun...

	Jean

Yep, it's smc-ircc :)

Should I give up on it and go for Daniele's smsc-ircc2 ? I confess I hadn't
 used 2.5.xx for a couple of weeks awaiting for some form of stabilization
 of the new module code (don't blame me - I can only, ahem, "test" on
 my work laptop), and I had forgot about smsc-ircc2.

Since it seems someone could make some of the modular stuff work
 I'm back in the game :)

	Hum... Looks like a weird interaction between smc-ircc and
irport, or allocation failure. Please activate IrDA debug, set it to
level 1 (echo 1 >> /proc/sys/net/irda/debug) and send the new kernel
log.
	Thanks...
