Lustre discuss - Jun 2011 - build issues with whamcloud 1.8.6.80

i''m sure i''m doing something dumb, but i can''t get
1.8.6.80 (git tag
v1_8_6_80 from whamcloud''s git) to even configure.  i was trying to
use the build instructions from sun''s lustre site
(http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php/Patchless_Client).

if i''m using a bad version or someone can point me to the place to
download 1.8.6 from sun, i''d be thrilled to try that.  i just heard a
lot of talk about 1.8.6 on this list and was hoping to use it but
couldn''t find it at sun.

here''s what went down:

autoconf - tried v2.13 and v2.50 and got the same result with both -
errors on first run, success on second run:

root at bigbird49:~/lustre-release# autoconf2.50
configure.ac:6: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:14: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
root at bigbird49:~/lustre-release# autoconf2.50
root at bigbird49:~/lustre-release#

then configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux (which in my case happens
to be a 2.6.32-32 ubuntu-patched kernel source tree)

root at bigbird49:~/lustre-release# ./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-linux
./configure: line 1776: syntax error near unexpected token
`LDISKFS_ENABLED,''
./configure: line 1776: `AM_CONDITIONAL(LDISKFS_ENABLED, false)''
root at bigbird49:~/lustre-release#


so there were errors on the autoconf, and configure didn''t recognize
with --with-linux directive, and then failed to run anyway.

help?  & thanks in advance!

I found this very useful:

 
http://wiki.whamcloud.com/display/PUB/Walk-thru-+Build+Lustre+1.8+on+CentOS+5.5+or+5.6+from+Whamcloud+git

The sh ./autogen.sh

step got rid of those funny undefined macros and whatnot.
