Hello,
I want to use eclipse as IDE for C/C++ development under a mac OS 10.8.5.
I have downloaded and installed eclipse Kepler for C/C++ developpers (CDT).
To get the gcc compiler, I installed XCode 5.0.2.
I also installed manually the autotools (autoconf 2.69 ; automake 1.14) since I will need to provide portable packaged programs.
The problem is : how to configure eclipse to use autotools. I know that the eclipse version I use is made for it since I can create an « autotools project » and, when I click on « Build », I see in the eclipse console tat eclipse tries to run :
sh -c "autoreconf -i"
But it fails. I get the following trace :
Invoking autoreconf in build directory: /Users/sis/workspace1/test_use_autotools/
sh -c "autoreconf -i"
autoreconf: 'configure.ac' or 'configure.in' is required
Configuration failed with error
What surprises me is that configure.ac and configure.in exist (they actually were created by eclipse when I created the autotools).
I tried to open a Terminal window, go to the /Users/sis/workspace1/test_use_autotools/ directory and enter :
sh -c "autoreconf -i"
and it worked well.
Any idea of what goes wrong ?
