Sat 19 Oct 2024 07:51:58 PM UTC, comment #2: More info $ fgrep AX_ co*.ac AX_IS_RELEASE(dash-version) AX_CHECK_ENABLE_DEBUG([info]) AX_RECURSIVE_EVAL([$sysconfdir], [SYSCONFDIR]) AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([with_udevrulesdir]) AX_NORMALIZE_PATH([with_device]) AX_VALGRIND_CHECK AX_ADD_FORTIFY_SOURCE]) AX_CODE_COVERAGE m4_ifdef([_AX_CODE_COVERAGE_RULES], AX_ADD_AM_MACRO_STATIC([]) So, message should inform user that AX_... macros are missing, not autoconf one like AC_SUBST, or AS_IF, or etc.	Румен Петров <rpetrov>
Sat 19 Oct 2024 05:14:38 PM UTC, comment #1: Issue is similar sr #110420, closed without correction. In posted use case messages like "possibly undefined macro: AC_SUBST" are not correct (red herring). Missing is at least one macro defined in ax_-files. Goal of this request is autoconf (tested with 2.71 and 2.72) messages to show properly missing macros.	Румен Петров <rpetrov>
Sat 19 Oct 2024 05:07:51 PM UTC, original submission: use case from project tpm2-tss: $ ./bootstrap Generating file lists: src_vars.mk .... configure.ac:21: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_SUBST If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:61: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_IF .... $ ./bootstrap Generating file lists: src_vars.mk .... automake: error: cannot open < aminclude_static.am: No such file or directory .... $./bootstrap Generating file lists: src_vars.mk configure.ac:21: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_SUBST If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. .... NOTE: see TSS_GITIGNOREFILES in Makefile.am => install missing m4-files (package autoconf-archive for instance)	Румен Петров <rpetrov>
