autogen.sh is missing stuff, cannot build

[kaefert]

Hi! I'm using linux mint debian edition with cinnamon and I wanted to build and install gpaste, but it failed:

kaefert@blechmobil:/Downloads/cinnamon_applets/gpaste/GPaste$ ./autogen.sh

Hi,

In order to build GPaste, you need a few devel tools :

automake, autoconf and intltool which are widely used, to generate the configure script

Then you will need development versions of gtk+-3, libxcb, xcb-util-keysyms, xcb-xtest, glib, libxml2 and gdk-pixbuf in order to be able to build it.

Note that if you want to build it from git, you will need automake 1.11.5 which is really recent, so you should use the latest release (2.5) if it's not available yet for your distribution. It is available in the download section, and has a configure script already generated in it

thanks for the quick response! sorry, I thought about looking to install stuff, but I didn't come from autoreconf to the package name autoconf ;)

so I installed those three packages as of yet:
sudo apt-get install autoconf autogen intltool

autogen.sh still fails:
Makefile.am:41: Libtool library used but LIBTOOL' is undefined Makefile.am:41: The usual way to defineLIBTOOL' is to add LT_INIT' Makefile.am:41: toconfigure.ac' and run aclocal' andautoconf' again.
Makefile.am:41: If LT_INIT' is inconfigure.ac', make sure
Makefile.am:41: its definition is in aclocal's search path.
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

Okey. my package automake has the version 1:1.11.3-1 (testing) so gotta find something newer than that. maybe I'm gonna try if the ubuntu package works for linux mint debian edition before investing that much time into manually building

It may be called intl or intltoolize, maybe. You're also missing libtool

[kaefert]

okey, I installed libtool also, but that didn't change the error of the autogen.sh
but I found out that the packages from this packagesource do work with the linux mint debian editon, although they are made for ubuntu: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/gnome3/ubuntu oneiric main

(at least I could install them, I need to restart X to see if it works)
EDIT: yep, did not only install, but also works like expected! thanks for the great project and thanks for the great support!
