Generate script of configure

General Development
1

Hi I’m trying to generate a script of “configure” from assets · 9.3.6 · tango-controls / TangoSourceDistribution · GitLab
I have downloaded the repo and launch the following command:
~/TangoSourceDistribution-9.3.6/assets$ autoconf configure.ac
So, I found this error:
configure.ac:78: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_AR
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:82: error: possibly undefined macro: SED_AC_WORKING

I have these version of automake and autoconf:
automake (GNU automake) 1.15.1
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

May I ask why you want to build the TangoSourceDistribution yourself?

Calling autoconf from the assets folder will not work. The readme, see tango-controls / TangoSourceDistribution · GitLab, has the steps listed to build it.
The prebuilt version is available as “Tango Source Distribution” from Releases · tango-controls / TangoSourceDistribution · GitLab.

I got to crosscompile 9.3.4 from the older repository of github wget https://github.com/tango-controls/TangoSourceDistribution/releases/download/9.3.4/tango-9.3.4.tar.gz but it’s possible than in the future I need a new version for an ALBA project and I need to crosscompile for our arm-boards.
