# What versions of GNU buildtools are required to build PHP from CVS? - Thread: https://externals.io/message/2582 - Original archive: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/2582 - Started by Antony Dovgal on 2003-06-23T07:03:25+00:00 - Messages: 8 - Reply by email to internals@lists.php.net - More for agents: search with https://externals.io/search.md?q={query} · JSON API at https://externals.io/api · documentation at https://externals.io/llms.txt --- ## #2582 — Antony Dovgal — 2003-06-23T07:03:25+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/2582#2582 Hi, all. What version of autoconf, automake & libtool do I need to build current HEAD & PHP_4_3 ? I get this rather strange messages running ./buildconf in PHP_4_3 branch: >buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok) >buildconf: automake version 1.4 (ok) >buildconf: libtool version 1.5 (ok) >rebuilding configure >FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script "buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok)" & "Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required" - so what is ok then? I've been trying to play with almost all autoconf, automake and libtool versions in different combinations, but ./buildconf always says that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is not known... Can anyone please explain what versions to use? Thanx in advance. --- WBR, Antony Dovgal aka tony2001 tony2001@phpclub.net --- ## #2583 — Derick Rethans — 2003-06-23T07:06:28+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/2582#2583 · In reply to: #2582 > What version of autoconf, automake & libtool do I need to build > current HEAD & PHP_4_3 ? > > I get this rather strange messages running ./buildconf in PHP_4_3 > branch: > > > […] > > "buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok)" & "Autoconf version 2.50 or > higher is required" - so what is ok then? > > I've been trying to play with almost all autoconf, automake and > libtool versions in different combinations, but ./buildconf always > says that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is not known... > > Can anyone please explain what versions to use? autoconf 2.13, automake 1.5 and libtool 1.4; I do not think libtool 1.5 works as it should be.

So, all binaries are in /usr at this moment.
