[parted-devel] bootstrap problems building parted

[Frodo Baggins]

Hi all,
I get the following errors/notes when I run ./bootstrap
Any ideas?

You may need to add #include directives for the following .h files.
  #include <alloca.h>
  #include <assert.h>
  #include <inttypes.h>
  #include <stdbool.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #include "closeout.h"
  #include "configmake.h"
  #include "gettext.h"
  #include "long-options.h"
  #include "safe-read.h"
  #if HAVE_UTIME_H
  # include <utime.h>
  #else
  # include <sys/utime.h>
  #endif

You may need to use the following Makefile variables when linking.
Use them in <program>_LDADD when linking a program, or
in <library>_a_LDFLAGS or <library>_la_LDFLAGS when linking a library.
  $(LTLIBINTL) when linking with libtool, $(LIBINTL) otherwise

Don't forget to
  - add "._bootmp/lib/Makefile" to AC_CONFIG_FILES in ./configure.ac,
  - mention "lib" in SUBDIRS in ._bootmp/Makefile.am,
  - mention "-I ._bootmp/m4" in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am,
  - invoke gl_EARLY in ./configure.ac, right after AC_PROG_CC,
  - invoke gl_INIT in ./configure.ac.

You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `build-aux'.

      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

END
I ran ``m4 aclocal.m4'' and ran bootstrap again and the above output
was obtained.
