Hello, I can compile metadata plugin using debian squeeze + wheezy. But build on suse enterprise server 9,10 and 11 failed. The metadata plugin require autoconf-2.65 which i too new. On the other side I can build the dovecot-2.2.4 and pigeonhole-0.4.0 plugin without problems: dovecot require autoconf-2.59 and pigeonhole does not require any specific autoconf version. I asked the authors of the plugin for support but got no response. Maybe somebody could review the plugin.

Hi Andreas, it would be helpful to provide the error message(s). Meanwhile you can try to call the 'autogen.sh' script which is shipped with the sources of the metadata-plugin before running 'configure'. This will try to regenerate all the autotools related files using your installed version.

Hello,

I changed the minimal version from 2.65 to 2.59

Hi Andreas,
sorry to hear that you didn't had much luck so far to solve the issue.
I just tested to run the supplied autogen.sh on a freshly checked out
metadata plugin tree, and had no issues.
Somehow it seems to me that you might miss some important development
files like some 3rd party .m4 files defining certain macros for
autoconf.
Can you please tell me the versions of autoconf, automake, m4,
libtool you are using and paste me the output of following commands?
Please provide the information for the debian host where it actually
builds and for one of the other hosts where it fails to build.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
grep -rn "AC_PROG_CC_C99" /usr/share/auto*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
that particular macro should be found in something like
/usr/share/autoconf/autoconf/c.m4
----------------------------------------------------------------------
find /usr/share/ -name "dovecot.m4"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually I am nearly sure that you are missing the 'dovecot.m4' file,
which is installed at '/usr/share/aclocal/dovecot.m4' on my test host.
I bet the debian host is having the 'dovecot.m4' installed and the
others don't have it, because after renaming the 'dovecot.m4' here I
ran into the very same issue you have ;)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
bash-4.2# mv /usr/share/aclocal/dovecot.m4{,.orig}
bash-4.2# ./autogen.sh
+ creating m4/ ...
+ running autoreconf ...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So now we only need to find why the file was not installed on your
"failing hosts".
How did you compiled and installed dovecot on those?
As I am compiling/installing dovecot from sources using the provided
autotools infrastructure which seems to install the needed 'dovecot.m4',
I suppose you ran into an issue with the (S)RPMs provided for your SLES
version.
For example it is simply not installing the file because RPM is such a
"marvelous" packaging system forcing package maintainers to specify
what
to install instead of simply relying on the way provided by the author
to simply run 'make install'.
Another reason could be that you simply missed to install the
'dovecot-devel' package, which should install the 'dovecot.m4'.
At least in the case of Fedora that seems to be the case.
