[LTP] Proper way to build from LTP tarball

[LTP] Proper way to build from LTP tarball

[Vinson Lee]

Hello.

I am using LTP through the Autotest framework. Autotest unpackages a
LTP tarball, calls 'make autotools', 'configure', and then 'make'. On
newer distros with more recent versions of autoconf, the 'make
autotools' step fails. However, the build works if I completely skip
the 'make autotools' step.

What is the expected way to build a released LTP tarball? Is a user
expected to call 'make autotools' before 'configure' or is just
running 'configure' enough?

Cheers,
Vinson

The "INSTALL" file says that :
Quick Start
-----------

1> tar xzf ltp-XXXXXXXX.tar.gz
2> cd ltp 
3> ./configure
4> make all 
5> make install
6> /opt/ltp/runltp

when quick start, you can just use the configure,
if you need more configuration, user autoconf ;)

On which distros/autconf version do the 'make autotools' fails?

Running configure from relased tarball should be enough, calling
autoconf to (re)generate configure script should be needed only when you
change some of the autoconf/automake m4 files.
