[Monetdb-developers] Installation troubles Mac OSX 10.6.6
Hi,
what is going about this issue on Macs? Is there any progress? http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=26996821
I have managed to overcome all but the last problem concerning the AC_MSG_ERROR. The solution was to copy all .m4 files provided from the gettext package into the MonetDB build directory.
Thanks, Babis

Yeah, we need iconv.m4. It is about time we start offering pre-bootstrapped tarballs again.
Thanks for letting us know.
Hi Babis,
My installation problems on Darwin are solved now. The main cause for all problems was a missing pkg-config package on Darwin. This package is not installed on Darwin. I think Darwin uses a utility named pkgutil. I think the configure script should check for the pkg-config installation because the current error message (possibly-undefined-macro:-AC_MSG_ERROR) is not very helpful.
In short I solved the problems by: - installing pkg-info package (0.25) - Made pkg.m4 from this package visible by copying to buildtools/conf or adding directory to M4DIRS search path - Make sure that all <package>.pc file are visible by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH

pkg-config is another one to stack on the list to (at least) document as a requirement.
In short I solved the problems by:
- installing pkg-info package (0.25)
- Made pkg.m4 from this package visible by copying to buildtools/conf or adding directory to M4DIRS search path
- Make sure that all <package>.pc file are visible by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH

That was it.
I had already pkg-config installed, but not configured accordingly the PKG_CONFIG_PATH or M4DIRS environment variable. A note on this worths the cause.
Thank you all, Babis
