Thu 29 Nov 2018 06:54:33 PM UTC, comment #14: Ah. Of course: the configure script needs to check for pkg.m4 before the part of the script is reached that depends on the availability of that file to have been generated correctly.

Wed 28 Nov 2018 07:08:42 AM UTC, comment #9: I just ran into the exact same situation, got the current git repo (6bead051d2404ce5d1fad6b721658e70e2c60d5f) and installed packages as they were obviously missing. (I am building a script to build nano from scratch on new installations...) So I did:

Thu 05 Nov 2015 04:47:53 PM UTC, comment #8: your dev system does not contain all the required packages. you need to install the pkg-config dev package which includes pkg.m4. otherwise the macro is undefined and it will be written verbatim to configure creating a syntax error.

Wed 25 Mar 2015 08:03:38 PM UTC, comment #1: How did you create 'configure'? Because the 'configure' in the 2.4.0 source tarball does not contain anything with NCURSESW on or near line 8151. Are you building from an SVN checkout? Maybe then your autotools are too new or too old? |
