Please try running autoconf, not autoreconf. I remember that there was an issue, but I don't remember the details. I think it has to do with the installed autoconf version. If some autoconf guru could check our configure.ac, I would be delighted... Here is where I am. The autogen.sh is failing. I got so frustrated the just removed the radeonhd directory and started over with a freash . But with a brand new retreival of the repository, autogen complains:
Something in the autoreconf run doesn't work. I had this here as well, but as I cannot reproduce any more I cannot easily fix this. Can you try to exchange autoreconf -v --install by autoreconf -v -f -i in autogen.sh and try again? If this still fails I'm a bit lost why autoreconf doesn't work, and don't have to time to dig into this. But if it still fails, try running autoconf -f autoheader -f aclocal -f automake -f and you should be good to ./configure and make.
Comparing the INSTALL notes to what I have, the only m4 marcro I don't have is the xorgversion.m4. According to the archlinux folks, xorgversion.m4 is deprecated (for over a year) so I don't think that is the problem.[footnote 1]
Yes, INSTALL is wrong with that. Fixing it.
In this partticular case, autoconf is failing on "_m4_text_wrap_word". I don't know how to work around this. It's frustrating to have been able to build the driver without issue for the past 6 months to now be unable to do "step 1" in the configure process. I have never had a problem with "sh autogen.sh --prefix=/usr". What am I missing?
What autoconf version are you using? Have you changed that recently?
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/macros/commit/?id=b8a5186c585b4f019714... This has been changed a year ago, so I guess you're trying to compile something very old.
It's not part of radeonhd, but in a file that's created by autoconf.
