macOS (Xcode CLA version 2405) + HEAD on master branch => configure fails #360
Comments
|
The version of autoconf via Homebrew on Mac is version 2.72. Based on some intial research, that version has changes that appear to be less forgiving when it come to AS_IF macros and quoting. I found this info at https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2023/02/23/autoconf-272-broke-my-build-how-do-i-fix-it.
I found that the last AS_IF in a set of nested AS_IF macros for handling the forcing a specific firewall exe was missing its third (else) argument. Adding the empty argument ([]) fixes this error. Here is the diff for that change (on the current configure.ac from the master branch. Also note that I did not run autoupdate on this):

That should address the syntax error.
Now, if you do run autoupdate on a Mac with the latest autoconf from Homebrew, it will set AC_PREREQ to version 2.72 - which has not be released to many other platforms (i.e. latest Fedora). I recommend you set that back to version 2.62. The other updates are probably ok, and you can remove the items that are tagged as obsolete.

This is after me running |autoconf| and then |configure|.
I've updated Homebrew. The full configure output is below.
Here's the |git diff| output for what |autoconf| changed:

It would be nice to get some tips on how to move forward. This is my attempt to get the project moving forward again.
