Build with cpp bindings fails: `configure: error: cannot find required auxiliary files: ltmain.sh compile missing`

[barracuda156]

Describe the bug
Build fails due to missing scripts in bindings/cpp. Apparently broken by 4d1eb3c

To Reproduce
Run the build with cpp enabled.

Expected behavior
It should succeed, as it was earier.

Actual behavior

It fails without autotools (just running configure) as well. autoconf-archive is installed.

@gruenich Could you please take a look?

[barracuda156]

P. S. Previous commit builds normally: 8bb3402

[gruenich]

Strange. We could add ltmain.sh the Git repository, I don't think it is the right move.

From your output, the file ltmain.sh is copied twice:

glibtoolize: copying file '../../ltmain.sh'

[..]

glibtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh'

Though, I cannot spot an obvious mistake.

[RossBencina]

7786be7

Doesn't look like that's the breaking commit. You mentioned this one earlier which looks like the actual breaking commit: 4d1eb3c

Does running reautoconf fix it?

[RossBencina]

@gruenich is not the obvious mistake that DIST_COMMON in Makefile.in removed the reference to ltmain.sh?

[barracuda156]

Yes, 4d1eb3c was the breaking one, another is just what I tried to build first and it failed.

I am away from the hardware for a week, so can try solutions once back.

[gruenich]

Who squashed seven commits from my merge request into a single commit? Having re-generated stuff mixed with build-system changes makes it impossible to tell the reason. @barracuda156 maybe you can reversely apply every commit from #1020 to narrow the problem down?

[RossBencina]

@gruenich I squashed it. It is our standard practice to squash PRs unless you instruct us not to. In this case I don't see any reason why we would not have squashed it. Another possibility is that we would request that the PR was split. In this case however I don't think there's anything we would have done differently.

Here are the PR commits:

https://github.com/PortAudio/portaudio/pull/1020/commits

autoreconf was only run once, on the final commit in the PR. So bisect wouldn't help us here. That is the commit that removed ltmain.sh : ee6b6ef

So either the removal of ltmain.sh is a side effect of updating autotools version, or it is a side effect of one of the edits made in the PR.

My guess would be one of:

2f7f18b

de531d0

I think the only way to be sure would be to re-run autoreconf after each change in your PR and see which triggers the removal of lt_main.sh

[philburk]

I notice that PR #1020 removed the following lines from configure.ac:37:

AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

The ltmain.sh file is installed by libtoolize.
Is it possible that the above change caused libtoolize to not run and so ltmain.sh was not included?

[gruenich]

I think I identified the issue, see #1098. I missed to include Makefile.in's subtle path changes in my commit. That is why it worked locally.

[gruenich]

@RossBencina Thanks for you explanation! In retrospect, I would have preferred to have the big change generated by autoreconf in a commit of it own. You are right, it would have made no difference in identifying the issue at hand.

[RossBencina]

@gruenich You are right. I agree we should have kept the autogenerated changes as a separate commit.
