Expected Results: generated confugure files 31456 1 ldv 2005-10-06 18:50:57 +0400 AC_MSG_ERROR works for me, so it looks like ntfsprogs-specific issue, probably quotation error in its configure.ac file. 31458 2 wrar 2005-10-06 19:06:59 +0400 Not reproducible with ntfsprogs 1.11.2 and autoconf_2.5-2.59-alt4. Btw, configure.ac:147 doesn't contain any macros. 31511 3 cha0smaster 2005-10-07 16:14:46 +0400 Autoconf reports about error and warning in lines 137 and 139 respectively with ntfsprogs 1.11.2. It seems that meesage from autoconf is incorrect, in fact problem was in missing pkg-config package. autoconf started work properly after I had installed it. Sorry for noise. 31512 4 ldv 2005-10-07 16:23:47 +0400 autoconf is not aware of pkg-config. 31522 5 cha0smaster 2005-10-07 19:20:15 +0400 configire.ac from ntfsprogs use PKG_CHECK_MODULES, thus generation depends on pkg-config 31525 6 wrar 2005-10-07 21:06:57 +0400 (In reply to comment #5) > configire.ac from ntfsprogs use PKG_CHECK_MODULES, thus generation depends on > pkg-config I don't understand your problem. ntfsprogs compiles normally without calling autoreconf or autogen.sh. 31527 7 cha0smaster 2005-10-07 23:46:47 +0400 No problem at present. I just said that autoconf message is obfuscating after I had discovered where real problem was.
