linux building errors

[Matzon]

argh - this is driving me nuts! Some of you linux guys please help me out.

Building from cvs yields some interresting warnings/errors. First some info:

Linux epia 2.6.8.1-2mdk #1 Wed Aug 18 18:54:04 CEST 2004 i686 VIA Samuel 2 unknown GNU/Linux
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
GNU Make 3.80

Building:

[matzon@epia native]$ ./build.sh

Errors:

acinclude.m4:4: warning: underquoted definition of AC_JNI_INCLUDE_DIR
 run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
 or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
acinclude.m4:52: warning: underquoted definition of _ACJNI_FOLLOW_SYMLINKS

shitload of these:

common/Makefile.am:1: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
common/Makefile.am:1:
common/Makefile.am:1: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
common/Makefile.am:1: to `configure.in' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.

one of these

configure.in:10: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
     If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
     See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:29: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
configure.in:46: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

it then runs the configure which fails:

configure: error: X11 is required

X11 runs just fine, thank you - I have also installed the x-devel package. Btw. Mandrake uses xorg - not xfree.

I tried building the XOpenDisplay that configure fails on, and I get the same error.

/* confdefs.h.  */

#define PACKAGE_NAME "LWJGL"
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "lwjgl"
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "0.9"
#define PACKAGE_STRING "LWJGL 0.9"

/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
#ifdef __cplusplus

#endif
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
  builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char XOpenDisplay ();
int main () {
XOpenDisplay ();
return 0;
}

However if I specify

-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11

it compiles fine. Adding the same switches to configure.in and doing a new ./build.sh did not work however.

/me begs for help!

What's your libtool version? Mine is:

elias@linux:~> rpm -qa|grep libtool
libtool-1.5.2-56

- elias

[Matzon]

libtool-1.5.6-4mdk

don't know if this helps, but here is the output from libtool --config:
