Error with "make"

[James_Jang]

I m trying to install soundtouch package but I m having some problems

I m following their instruction on how to compile soundtouch after unzipping the file.
It tells me to

./configure -
Configures the SoundTouch package for the local environment.

make -
Builds the SoundTouch library & SoundStretch utility.

make install -
Installs the SoundTouch & BPM libraries to /usr/local/lib and SoundStretch utility to /usr/local/bin. Please notice that 'root' privileges may be required to install the binaries to the destination locations.

I did the first step but when I run make, it gives me errors.

james@Bum-Ho:~/pitch shifter/soundtouch$ make
cd . && automake-1.10 --foreign
/bin/bash: line 4: automake-1.10: command not found
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

What could be the problem? I looked up to see if I had automake installed and I did so I dont understand what is going on.

Hello and welcome to the forums

Did you make a careful note of any errors during the ./configure stage? Did it complain about automake-1.10 then?

FYI automake-1.10 is a different thing from automake - in particular



$ apt-cache show automake1.10
Package: automake1.10
Priority: optional
Section: devel
.

Description-en: A tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles
Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's from
files called `Makefile.am'.
.
The goal of Automake is to remove the burden of Makefile maintenance
from the back of the individual GNU maintainer (and put it on the back
of the Automake maintainer).
.
The `Makefile.am' is basically a series of `make' macro definitions
(with rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated
`Makefile.in's are compliant with the GNU Makefile standards.
.
Automake 1.10 fails to work in a number of situations that Automake
1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 did, so has been renamed so that the
previous version can continue to be made available.

I dont think it complained.

This was the message I received when I ran ./configure
