| Subject: | legacy configure with --with-libtool loops forever if libtool is not installed |
Under Solaris11 when the legacy configure was used with --with-libtool
--------------------------------------------------------------------
:
checking for struct msghdr.msg_control... yes
checking for struct tpacket_auxdata.tp_vlan_tci... no
configure: WARNING: legacy configure is used but libtool is enabled. Trying to recover...
./config+lt[20]: autoreconf: not found [No such file or directory]
Reconfiguring with --with-atf=/home/jenkins/opt/atf --enable-libtool
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Which fails because autoreconf cannot be found. The recovery step needs to detect a failure and stop, not loop forever. We saw a similar issue when the "m4" directory did not exist.
