"autoreconf: not found" error during making qemu-1.4.0

Question

I was ./configure'd the qemu-1.4.0 and during make it cause:

(cd /home/amin/Simulate/qemu-1.4.0/pixman; autoreconf -v --install)
/bin/sh: 1: autoreconf: not found
make: *** [/home/amin/Simulate/qemu-1.4.0/pixman/configure] Error 127

Now, I can't find how to pass this error.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I just had this problem myself, and the solution I found in reading the autoconf manual which states autoreconf runs autoconf which I did not have installed.

sudo apt-get install autoconf

and the autogen script I am using now works.

Answer 2

Try installing autoconf package.

sudo apt-get install autoconf

Answer 3

I used to search for package first:

# apt-cache search autoreconf
   autoconf2.13 - automatic configure script builder (obsolete version)
   dh-autoreconf - debhelper add-on to call autoreconf and clean up after the build

Then install what I need:

# apt-get install dh-autoreconf
