[netperf-talk] Crosscompiling netperf4 & autotools

[Kai Koehne]

Hi,

I finally decided to give netperf4 a try ...

First of all, netperf4 compiles fine under debian. However, I want to 
cross-compile it, and have difficulties with the generated Makefiles:

[....]
make[3]: Entering directory 
`/home/koehne/kamikaze_7.06_seismo/trunk/build_i386/netperf4'
make  all-recursive
make[4]: Entering directory 
`/home/koehne/kamikaze_7.06_seismo/trunk/build_i386/netperf4'
Making all in include
make[5]: Entering directory 
`/home/koehne/kamikaze_7.06_seismo/trunk/build_i386/netperf4/include'
make[6]: Entering directory 
`/home/koehne/kamikaze_7.06_seismo/trunk/build_i386/netperf4'
make[6]: *** No rule to make target `am--refresh'.  Stop.
[....]

This seems to be an autotool problem (both Makefiles are automatically 
generated), so I decided to recreate all intermediate files:

koehne at dhcp-4-153:~/kamikaze_7.06_seismo/trunk/build_i386/netperf4$ 
./autogen.sh
automake: `$(LIBOBJS)' cannot be used outside `' if `subdir-objects' is 
not set
src/Makefile.am:51: required file `src/missing/missing/inet_ntop.c' not 
found
src/Makefile.am:51: required file `src/missing/missing/getaddrinfo.c' 
not found

The errors are caused by automake (version 1.10). I also gave automake 
1.9.6 a try:

koehne at dhcp-4-153:~/kamikaze_7.06_seismo/trunk/build_i386/netperf4$ 
./autogen.sh
src/Makefile.am:51: required file `src/missing/inet_ntop.c' not found
src/Makefile.am:51: required file `src/missing/getaddrinfo.c' not found

I realize that netperf4 is still in development, but maybe someone can 
help me anyway ;-) Which version of the autotools are used for compiling 
netperf4? And has anybody a guess why the non-existent "am--refresh" 
target is called when crosscompiling, and not called when compiling 
directly on the target machine?

Kind regards,

Kai Koehne
