Hi, I am trying to build the openldap package from the source following the release tarball from ftp://ftp.openldap.org/pub/OpenLDAP/openldap-release/openldap-2.4.39.tgz. I am building this package in a new architecture ppc64le ( IBM PowerPC Little endian ). As the config.guess and libtool did not have the required patches to identify this new architecture, I did autoreconf -f -i in my build system whose latest automake and libtool has the patches of ppc64le. but the autoreconf failed with the following error
automake: error: no 'Makefile.am' found for any configure output autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
As the config.guess and configure scripts were updated with the ppc64le patches, i went ahead building the package. IT subsequently failed during 'make' with the following errors
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rajesh/openldap/openldap/libraries/liblber' rm -f version.c ../../build/mkversion -v "2.X" liblber.la > version.c /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=compile cc -g -O2 -I../../include -I../../include -DLBER_LIBRARY -c assert.c ../../libtool: 1: eval: base_compile+= cc: not found ../../libtool: 1: eval: base_compile+= -g: not found ../../libtool: 1: eval: base_compile+= -O2: not found ../../libtool: 1: eval: base_compile+= -I../../include: not found ../../libtool: 1: eval: base_compile+= -I../../include: not found ../../libtool: 1: eval: base_compile+= -DLBER_LIBRARY: not found ../../libtool: 1: eval: base_compile+= -c: not found libtool: compile: you must specify a compilation command libtool: compile: Try `libtool --help --mode=compile' for more information. make[2]: *** [assert.lo] Error 1
FYI,
I also tried verified building the package in x86 ( Intel Box ) to get some clues if it is specific to ppc64le architecture. Without doing a autoreconf (which I dont require in my x86 laptop), the package building was sucessful. When I did autoreconf in my x86 laptop, I was struck with the similar errors as I had mentioned above. So, can anyone provide any clues how to progress or redirect this mail to the right person if this is not the right place to discuss this issue?
