[lttng-dev] babeltrace 1.2.2 and python (more)

[Thibault, Daniel]

   Okay, I've got Python3 and Swig2.0 installed, now I try to make babeltrace 1.2.2.

   Here is the bootstrap log:

+ '[' '!' -e config ']'
+ mkdir config
+ libtoolize --force --copy

      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

   No big surprise there, except the suspicious "possibly undefined macro".

   Next I launch configure, setting PYTHON and PYTHON_CONFIG beforehand:

./configure: line 13260: syntax error near unexpected token `$swig_version,'
./configure: line 13260: `  AX_PKG_SWIG($swig_version, ,  AC_MSG_ERROR([SWIG $swig_version or newer is needed]) )'

   Yup, the macro is undefined.  How do I fix this?

   This is Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, 64-bits.  The kernel is 3.9.3.

   According to https://issues.mediagoblin.org/ticket/755 the fix is to run 'aclocal -I m4 --install' before invoking bootstrap.  Can this be fixed in the bootstrap config files themselves?

   (I'm going on vacation now, so don't be surprised if I don't answer for a while)
