[vlc-devel] Re: Latest CVS source and Mac OSX

[John Michael Zorko]

Derk,

Thanks for the help -- it's appreciated.  I did run bootstrap, but this 
is what it told me:

[Pugsley:~/multimedia/videolan] jmzorko% cd mpeg2dec-0.3.2-cvs/
[Pugsley:~/multimedia/videolan/mpeg2dec-0.3.2-cvs] jmzorko% ls
AUTHORS    INSTALL      NEWS    acinclude.m4  bootstrap     doc       
libvo  vc++
COPYING    Makefile.am  README  aclocal.m4    configure     include   
src
ChangeLog  Makefile.in  TODO    autotools     configure.in  libmpeg2  
test
[Pugsley:~/multimedia/videolan/mpeg2dec-0.3.2-cvs] jmzorko% ./bootstrap
+ aclocal -I autotools
+ libtoolize --force --copy
You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `autotools'.
+ autoheader
configure.in:2: error: Autoconf version 2.54 or higher is required for 
this script
configure.in:2: the top level
autoconf: tracing failed
+ automake --add-missing --copy
configure.in:10: `automake requires `AM_CONFIG_HEADER', not 
`AC_CONFIG_HEADER'
+ autoconf
configure.in:2: error: Autoconf version 2.54 or higher is required for 
this script
configure.in:2: the top level
+ rm -f config.cache
[Pugsley:~/multimedia/videolan/mpeg2dec-0.3.2-cvs] jmzorko%

... this is a normal Mac OSX 10.2.6 installation, using whatever 
version of autoconf and automake came with it.  What am I doing wrong?
