needed packages to run autoreconf and configure on debian wheezy


What are the .deb packages needed to run these commands on a debian wheezy Linux?

cd software_that_builds_with_autotools
autoreconf --install &&\
./configure --prefix=/opt/foo/bar &&\
make && make install

I tried installing the following, but it still says it is lacking aclocal:

apt-get install binutils make csh g++ sed gawk autoconf autotools-dev

Can't exec "aclocal": No such file or directory at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/FileUtils.pm line 326.
autoreconf: failed to run aclocal: No such file or directory

Solution

  • Just use

    sudo apt-get install binutils make csh g++ sed gawk autoconf automake autotools-dev
