Ubuntu 22 build Makefile error about mdsplus HOT 4 CLOSED

Before this error I added some code in configure.ac file

configure.ac:9: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:12: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_VAR_SET
configure.ac:18: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:19: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
configure.ac:79: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
configure.ac:95: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_RESULT
configure.ac:134: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_VAR_TEST_SET
configure.ac:139: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_COND_IF
configure.ac:167: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CHECK_JAVA_HOME

configure.ac:652: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_SEARCH_READLINE
configure.ac:712: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_XML2
configure.ac:1049: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_ECHO

These were the error lines when I type autoconf as described in mdsplus site.

And I also got this error messages when I type automake

So I just added AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4]) to configure.ac file and type aclocal, autoconf, automake.
I don't think this would effect the above situation but isn't configure.ac file should have this line "AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4])"? Or mdsplushttps://www.mdsplus.org/index.php?title=Software:BuildingFromSources&open=110662451143527432703&page=Software%2FBuilding+from+sources should add aclocal? (I didn't use homebrew to install the autoconf and automake file I just use apt install and some librearies like autoconf-archieve and some source file for automake and autoconf to get specific version.

Hi @sjleefg02,

Let's see if we can get your Docker build to work. (I just used Docker to build MDSplus for Ubuntu 22.04 and it worked fine.) Try the following steps.

$
$ # Make a new directory (so we don't mess up your existing work).
$ # This example uses "/tmp/new_repo", but you can use any path you wish.
$ mkdir /tmp/new_repo
$ cd /tmp/new_repo
$ git clone https://github.com/MDSplus/mdsplus.git
$
$ # Check to make sure the status command shows on the "alpha" branch 
$ cd mdsplus
$ git status
$ 
$ # Now create a build directory and build with Docker
$ cd /tmp/new_repo
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../mdsplus/deploy/build.sh --os=bootstrap
$ ../mdsplus/deploy/build.sh --os=ubuntu22 --release
$
$ # The debs will be found at this location (assuming you are building for x86_64)
$ cd /tmp/new_repo/build/build/ubuntu22/alpha/release/Ubuntu22/alpha/DEBS/amd64
$
$ # And if you want to instead create a tarball, then tar this directory
$ cd /tmp/new_repo/build/build/ubuntu22/alpha/releasebld/buildroot/usr/local/mdsplus

The above process is how I manually build the current alpha using Docker. It should work for you too.

Regardless, let us know if this solved your problem or not.

Hello This is just my another account with sjleefg02 and I just success with building the current alpha version! Thank you so much!! 👍👍 :)

Hi @sjleefg02 / @satelite2517,

You're welcome.

And congratulations! I am glad to read that you were able to get the Docker build of alpha to work for Ubuntu 22.

Because your build was successful, I am closing this issue.

-Mark

P.S. -- We are finishing some maintenance work on our build server. So in the near future, you will once again be able to download pre-built binaries (i.e., "deb" packages) from the MDSplus web site (and also from GitHub).
