    Running autogen.sh fails with message:

    configure.ac:49: warning: macro 'AM_MAINTAINER_MODE' not found in library configure.ac:49: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

    Expected behavior

    I expect the autogen to finish without errors

    Actual behavior

    autoreconf, called by autogen.sh exits with status 1

    To reproduce

    Checkout branch 0.21 on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspian OS (Debian) and call autogen.sh

    System information

    • Bitcoin Core branch 0.21 from github, self compiled
    • Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
    • Raspian OS: 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf.img

    I’m using shell to compile.

    pkg-config (0.29-6) autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

    My current automake version is: automake-1.16

    My apt search show versions automake-1.15, automake1.11 and lesser versions.

    So I tried version automake-1.15

    sudo apt search automake sudo apt install automake-1.15 sudo update-alternatives –config automake

    ./autogen.sh Failed with message

    Then I tried version automake-1.11

    sudo apt install automake1.11 sudo update-alternatives –config automake

    .autogen.sh failed with message

    no idea but maybe select automake 1.5, make sure pkg-config will be found (find it and prepend $PATH with pkg-config’s dir), start over from autogen if it works do the same selecting automake 1.6 if applicable use a distro developers use

    Very strange. Automake 1.16.2 and autoconf 2.69 works fine here. AM_MAINTAINER_MODE is a very old setting that has been in automake for a long time. It has been in our configure.ac file since the beginning of the autotools build system in 2013, and as far as I know, never tripped anyone else.

    Do you have all the suggested build dependencies installed?

    Then I tried version automake-1.11

    We require automake 1.13 or later.

    Do you have all the suggested build dependencies installed?

    Can you confirm this?

    I’m going to close this for now. If we get some new information, maybe we can reopen and try and debug further, but this is almost certainly seems like an issue with your local environment.
