Hi Giuseppe,

The autogen.sh is calling for configure.in and libtool instead of configure.ac and libtoolize.

Thanks!

    Hi Joao,

    thanks a lot for your interest in Imagination. Do you know how to replace
    it with an updated version?

    Thanks
    Giuseppe

    Hi Giuseppe,

    The main goal of autogen.sh is generate basic files as configure and Makefile.in. Is a bad ideia provide theses files to final user inside your tarball because they must be generated by local system to be always updated. The autogen.sh should be simple and not test for commands presence (the Bash or a shell will tell us about absent commands). IMHO, I think that you can describe in README file the executables to be installed before run ./autogen.sh. It will avoid issues between Linux distributions across the time. You can use this:

    1. Install libgtk2.0 and intltool.
2. Run the following commands:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install

    The autogen.sh change will fix the following bug in debian:

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829985

    To cleanup the environment, some autogenerated files should be removed and 'make distclean' command fixed.

    The attached patch will fix all issues. However, to understand step by step, you can see all commits in my temporary repository here:

    https://salsa.debian.org/eriberto/imagination-3.4-fixes/commits/master

    Feel free to disagree with my changes and suggestions.

    Cheers,

    Eriberto
