Help Building cexp

I tried invoking 'make prep' in the top of the cexp directory, but I ended
up getting the error "aclocal: error: configure.ac:1: file './m4/cvstag.m4'
does not exist".

 

After cloning cexp, I noticed the folder within the cexp directory were
empty (getopt, libtecla, m4, pmbfd, regexp). Do I also have to clone the
other repos into their respective folders?

 

To install Bison I already needed to install m4, so I've installed both
under /usr/local/, but I didn't find a "cvstag.m4" file in /usr/local/m4
either.

configure is automatically generated by the gnu autotools and therefore not
maintained
in git.

You'll have the necessary tools anyways since they are required for building
rtems, too
(autoconf, automake, ...).

Just invoke 'make prep' in the cexp top directory. This creates the various
'configure' and 'Makefile.in's.

You will also need gnu 'bison' for processing the cexp.y grammar.

Hi All,

 

In previous cexp releases there was a configure we could run to build cexp
with ./configure, but in the latest cexp
(https://github.com/till-s/cexpsh.git) there doesn't seem to be an
executable configure file? I tried looking into the INSTALL file of the repo
but these instructions also used ./configure. There's a configure.ac file
but I'm not sure how to convert that into an executable (could be my lack of
linux experience).

 

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
