Autotools autoreconf -i problem [message #693409] Wed, 06 July 2011 12:20 Go to next message

Hi,

I have a problem when I create a new autotools project in Indigo:
When a new project is created, I select build project but it fails saying
sh autoreconf -i
sh: Can't open autoreconf

When I call manually from terminal window 'autoreconf -i', it works.
I saw that the autoreconf is a perl script but eclipse calls it with sh.
How can I change in eclipse to call just 'autoreconf -i' or 'perl autoreconf -i'?

Thanks,
Edouard

Hello Edouard.

I have the same problem you describe. To fix this I did the following in a terminal:

cd /home/myhome
mkdir bin
cd bin
ln -s /bin/bash sh


Add the new PATH at end of file bashrc:
vim /home/myhome/.bashrc
export PATH=/home/myhome/bin:$PATH


Reboot your session.

Once done this work already.

Usually it's problem with dash (or similar one) being default shell (sh) instead of bash.
On Ubuntu you can fix it with sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash, chosing No for question about becoming default shell.
