autoconf error

[davidlmontgomery]

I'm trying to get reviewboard set up for my company.

On the getting started page I read birendro.roy's comment about
running autoconf on the provided configure.ac, and then configuring
and installing the package.

I find that when I run autoconf I get the following error:

configure.ac:13: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:15: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
configure.ac:17: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_PYTHON
configure.ac:18: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_DJANGO

I'm guessing I need to set up some environment variables or take some
other steps, but I really don't know anything about autoconf, so it
would take me quite a while to figure out what is needed. Could
anyone provide a pointer?

I read in this thread
http://groups.google.com/group/reviewboard/browse_frm/thread/3d5750dd928178b5
that perhaps most people aren't bothering with the autoconf/configure/
install dance. Are there manual steps that need to be taken in their
place?

Thanks much,
David

You need to run aclocal, autuoheader and automake before running autoconf.
However, this is already automated in the "./autogen.sh" script; just run
that.
