undefined macro AC_MSG_ERROR & AC_DEFINE

[a531381]

Hi,

when I run sh ./autogen.sh, the following error occures:

$ sh ./autogen.sh
autoreconf: export WARNINGS=
autoreconf: Entering directory '.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force 
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Intltool
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gtkdoc
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
configure.ac:22: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:252: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
autoreconf: error: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1`

When I add the m4_pattern_allow to configure.ac,

m4_pattern_allow([AC_DEFINE])
m4_pattern_allow([AC_MSG_ERROR])

the generation is successful, but then the ./configure fails with

checking for syslog.h... yes
checking for inttypes.h... (cached) yes
checking for fcntl.h... yes
checking for ctype.h... yes
checking for pkg-config... (cached) /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for PCRE2... yes
checking for pthread for multithreading... yes

./configure: line 7243: `    AX_PTHREAD(AC_DEFINE(WITH_PTHREAD,1,[use pthread]), AC_MSG_ERROR([AIDE requires pthread]))'

The following libraries are in use:

core/autoconf 2.71-1
core/automake 1.16.5-1
core/flex 2.6.4-3 
core/bison 3.8.2-4
core/make 4.3-5

core/pcre2 10.40-3
community/mhash 0.9.9.9-5
extra/check 0.15.2-2
core/libtool 2.4.7-5

Unfortunately I do not get on :-/
