collectd 5.7.2 desperately misses 'automake 1.14' ;-)

Hi,

I'm trying to build 'collectd 5.7.2' for some testing, but it always
fails with the following warning:

...
 make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/collectd-5.7.2/src'

cd .. && /bin/sh /usr/src/collectd-5.7.2/libltdl/config/missing
automake-1.14 --foreign src/Makefile

/usr/src/collectd-5.7.2/libltdl/config/missing: line 81: automake-1.14:
command not found

WARNING: 'automake-1.14' is missing on your system.
...

This is right, because current 'next' uses 'automake 1.15'. I tested
with 1.15.1, tried several lfs-changes, but still no luck.

Does anyone got a tip?

Best,
Matthias

Hi,

I don't think this is a good idea.

In collectd 5, the format of the RRDs has changed which would require us to
migrate them all (they use DERIVE instead of COUNTER now). 

We backported quite a few patches into our version of collectd for things we
needed.

So is there any features you need or is this just to follow upstream?

Yep. After some time I stopped trying.

Didn't know that, another point against it...

I was just "taking a look to see, if it could work".

But for now its throwing "configure: error: "Some plugins are missing
dependencies - see the summary above for details"
    make: *** [collectd:85: /usr/src/log/collectd-5.7.2] Error 1"

I've given up for now.

Best,
Matthias

That's cool. I wrote something new for IPFire 3 any ways :)
