How to convert Makefile.am to Makefile.in?












2















I'm trying to install gnuplot 5.3 from github. I'm running



aclocal
autoheader
autoconf
automake


inside the package location.



This gives an error because automake is looking for Makefile.in and I have a bunch of Makefile.am files, supposedly automake should change the .am files to .in but that clearly doesn't happen. Can't run ./configure after becuase of the same reason, how do I get the .am files to change to .in?

  • You should read the "INSTALL'", "README" files, and probably run "./configure`" FIRST.

  • The install and readme tell me to do what I did, run autoconf and then ./configure but I get an error because of the .am files.

At first please note that GNU Plot is packaged in all Ubuntu versions:




binary gnuplot package






But you can compile GNU Plot from GitHub by using the followed procedure:





  1. Enable Source code repositories in Software & Updates (software-properties-gtk) and install compile-time dependencies to be completely sure that all dependencies are satisfied on compile time



    sudo apt-get build-dep gnuplot



  2. Install needed tools



    sudo apt-get install git lua5.1



  3. Clone repository and run ./prepare script first (!!! important step !!!)



    git clone https://github.com/gnuplot/gnuplot.git
    cd gnuplot
    ./prepare



  4. Then run all usual tools:



    ./configure
    make
    #make check # shows various very beautiful plots
    sudo make install


    Note: it is better to use Checkinstall (sudo make checkinstall install) in last step, decide by yourself.
