• error compiling ifmail

    From Mike Powell@618:250/1 to All on Mon Jan 1 14:42:20 2024
    I am trying to compile ifmail 3.03, specifically to get a working copy of ifcico. I ran configure and installed the missing dependencies. Ran configure successfully again, and them make.

    make is giving me the following error:

    $ make
    cd . && aclocal
    aclocal: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'
    aclocal: warning: 'configure.ac' and 'configure.in' both present.
    aclocal: proceeding with 'configure.ac'
    configure.ac:93: error: automatic de-ANSI-fication support has been removed /usr/share/aclocal-1.15/obsolete.m4:26: AM_C_PROTOTYPES is expanded from... configure.ac:93: the top level
    autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
    aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1
    Makefile:139: recipe for target 'aclocal.m4' failed
    make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1


    configure.ac line 93 is as follows:

    AM_C_PROTOTYPES

    make is giving me the following error:

    Try running autoconf before running configure to localize your autoconf
    setup. Might still get warnings but no fatal errors.

    Still fails, same error.
