[Audacity-devel] My Travis builds get link errors and I don't know why

[Paul Licameli]

My branch track-panel-refactor fails to build on Travis, with link errors.

This branch adds many new source files and changes src/Makefile.am.

My previous experience is that it is enough to edit Makefile.am when I add
files.

Is this no longer so? Did something change in Travis builds so that the
generation of Makefile.in is not part of the build?

I do not have the means to edit Makefile.in myself.

Your humble Release Manager needs to stop putting off his education in
doing Linux builds for himself.

In .travis.yml you could try reinstating:

script:
- aclocal --install -I m4 && automake && ./configure && make


Which I replaced by:

script:
- time ./configure && time make -j2


to get a faster build.
Or you could do automake locally on your machine, and push the results
to GitHub and not modify the .yml file.

And no, I don't understand this stuff either.

​I've been seeing this also when merging lately, also in my local builds.
My particular problem appears to be that my libtool version is 2.4.6 and
Travis is still on 2.4.2.

For the moment, I found a forced autoreconf seems to guarantee the
generated files are in sync. I didn't find the magical combination of
aclocal and friends, the ones mentioned thus far didn't work for me.

autoreconf --no-recursive --install --force​

The --no-recursive part keeps it out of lib-src where there isn't a problem.

​Note you will have to add "autopoint" package to get this command in
Travis.​

You need to run automake after adding new files to the Makefile.am
Previously that was run on each build but has since been removed from
the Travis build script.

This will probably do it:

aclocal --install -I m4 && automake

You should then push to GitHub again (after checking that it builds)
so that everyone gets the newly generated makefile.in files.

Then run ./configure and make in the normal way.
