Subject: cvs Build on OS X

Hello,

So far I have been using blitz on OS X and been very happy with its performance (as good as my own hand-tuned really ugly C code). It fills a giant gaping hole in C++ that has always driven me crazy. Anyway, I have two questions. The first is that I tried to post to the list, but I seem to be getting moderated... Its been about 3 days now. Any reason for that?  

The real question is concering building from CVS on OS X Tiger. This is the e-mail I tried to send 3 days ago:

blitz-support,

I saw in past e-mails people have gotten blitz to compile from CVS on OS X, but I can't figure it out. I am running OS X 10.4.1 (Tiger). I was able to download from cvs, and I tried autoreconf -fiv, but I ran into trouble there.

Tiger comes with autoconf --version

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59

and automake --version

automake (GNU automake) 1.6.3

Written by Tom Tromey <tromey@redhat.com>.

I upgraded automake locally to version 1.9.5, and that fixed some problems, (Before doing this I had some problem with the command "libtoolize"

Now I get the following error message:

autoreconf -fiv

autoreconf: Entering directory `.'

autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext

autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4

aclocal:configure.ac:76: warning: macro `AM_DISABLE_SHARED' not found in library

autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing

autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool

autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force

configure.ac:76: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_DISABLE_SHARED

If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

See the Autoconf documentation.

configure.ac:77: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL

autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
