asterisk users - May 2013 - What is bootstrap.sh for ? Possible bug in 11.3.0 ?

Hi,

Before trying to script res-memcached installation (see
res_memcached<https://github.com/drivefast/asterisk-res_memcached>),
I banged into this on a fresh 11.3.0 setup:

1. When run for the first time bootstrap.sh displays a non-blocking error.

# sh -x bootstrap.sh
+ uname -sr
+ MY_AC_VER+ MY_AM_VER+ AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.60
+ AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.9
+ export AUTOCONF_VERSION
+ export AUTOMAKE_VERSION
+ check_for_app autoconf
+ autoconf --version
+ [ 0 != 0 ]
+ check_for_app autoheader
+ autoheader --version
+ [ 0 != 0 ]
+ check_for_app automake
+ automake --version
+ [ 0 != 0 ]
+ check_for_app aclocal
+ aclocal --version
+ [ 0 != 0 ]
+ echo Generating the configure script ...
Generating the configure script ...
+ aclocal -I autoconf
+ autoconf
configure.ac:102: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
+ autoheader
+ automake --add-missing --copy
+ exit 0
# sh -x bootstrap.sh
+ uname -sr
+ MY_AC_VER+ MY_AM_VER+ AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.60
+ AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.9
+ export AUTOCONF_VERSION
+ export AUTOMAKE_VERSION
+ check_for_app autoconf
+ autoconf --version
+ [ 0 != 0 ]
+ check_for_app autoheader
+ autoheader --version
+ [ 0 != 0 ]
+ check_for_app automake
+ automake --version
+ [ 0 != 0 ]
+ check_for_app aclocal
+ aclocal --version
+ [ 0 != 0 ]
+ echo Generating the configure script ...
Generating the configure script ...
+ aclocal -I autoconf
+ autoconf
+ autoheader
+ automake --add-missing --copy
+ exit 0


2. After running bootstrap.sh, ./configure fails with:
checking if "int foo = DAHDI_ECHOCANCEL_FAX_MODE" compiles using
dahdi/user.h... no
checking for getifaddrs() support... yes
checking for timerfd support... yes
checking for gsm_create in -lgsm... no
./configure: line 17928: syntax error near unexpected token `ILBC,'
./configure: line 17928: `      PKG_CHECK_MODULES(ILBC, libilbc,'

My questions are:

1. What is the purpose of bootstrap.sh ?
2. Is this a bug or a feature ?

Regards

1. bootstrap.sh generates the configure script for Asterisk. It's there
to help with platform compatibility issues, as well as to make sure the
configure file is built with all of the macros defined in the various
.m4 files in Asterisk's autoconf sub-directory.

2. It appears as if you're running a modified version of Asterisk, in
which case all bets are off. This works fine on the Linux build agents,
which is what we use to build the tarballs on downloads.asterisk.org.
So, no, I don't think there's a bug in the shell script.
