I am using the git repository.

Please state the exact actions that you performed that resulted in this
bug.

(E.g.: zcat fftw-.tar.gz | tar xf -; cd fftw; ./configure
--SOMETHING; make -FLAGS)

thanks,

What I have done

sudo apt-get install ocaml autoconf automake libtool
git clone https://github.com/FFTW/fftw3.git
cd fftw3
./bootstrap.sh
./configre
make

You need to ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode. (The bootstrap.sh script already does this for you.)

I am experiencing the same bug with this code on the master branch. I'm switching to tag 3.3.3

[stevengj]

This is not a bug. To build from git, you need to use bootstrap.sh the first time you run make as explained above, not configure with no arguments, in order to generate the FFTW sources.
