[Monetdb-developers] test missing on pkg-config in clients configure
Hi all,
I got the following error message due to a missing pkg-config installation—Perhaps there could be a better error message:
/home/rittinge/MonetDB.hg/clients/configure: line 2894: syntax error near unexpected token `monetdbtools,' /home/rittinge/MonetDB.hg/clients/configure: line 2894: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(monetdbtools, monetdb-stream >= $req_monetdb_ver'

Did you get errors from bootstrap? configure should never hold the m4 macros.

No errors with respect to pkg-config:
$ ./bootstrap ... configure.in:166: warning: macro `AM_ICONV' not found in library patching file aclocal.m4 Hunk #1 succeeded at 439 (offset -5947 lines). configure.in:166: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_ICONV If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation.
I'm also a little bit puzzled that you ask about m4 as the exact line 'PKG_CHECK_MODULES(monetdbtools, monetdb-stream...' is already in configure.ag.

Please just install pkg-config, and it's m4 macro that comes with it (-devel?) And also consider isntalling gettext(-devel?), to get the necessary AM_ICONV macro.

Fabian,
that's where my mail started from. Installing pkg-config got the intial strange error message sorted out. I was just wondering that pkg-config itself is not checked by configure (to give a more useful error message).
As to AM_ICONV—this seems to be not optional as a call to AM_ICONV still resides in the generated configure file...

configure does! However, you need to be able to generate it properly. I thought autoconf should/would bail on missing macros, but in any case, that's beyond our ability to fix.

Which is wrong, but probably causes your interpreter to simply emit some error about a missing/undefined function, since the macro call has no arguments.
Proper bootstrapping is hard, maybe we could extend the bootstrap script to check these requirements and just refuse to work if missing.
