cannot install on mac OS El capitan

[proukakis]

hello I downloaded 2.2.26 tarsal then expanded it then specified compiler

$ export CC=gcc-6 CXX=g++-6

then $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME

then $ make CC=gcc-6 CXX=g++-6 cd . && /bin/sh /Volumes/SD/jellyfish-2.2.6/missing automake-1.14 --foreign /Volumes/SD/jellyfish-2.2.6/missing: line 81: automake-1.14: command not found WARNING: 'automake-1.14' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or 'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'. The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/ http://www.perl.org/ make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1

same results if I try make -j 4

I thought this way did not need the other GNU packages?

I have automake 1.15

any help will be very welcome

thanks christos

Can you instead do:

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME CC=gcc-6 CXX=g++-6
$ make

sorry it took so long to try

no luck

Christoss-MacBook-Pro:~ christos$ cd /Volumes/SD/jellyfish-2.2.6 Christoss-MacBook-Pro:jellyfish-2.2.6 christos$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME CC=gcc-6 CXX=g++-6

(seems OK, then)

That does not make sense to me. You should be able to compile without automake/autoconf installed. I tried on my local Mac, and it works. Can you try again from a freshly untarred directory?

[proukakis]

Thank you, will try again, but may be after Christmas. i think I had a freshly untarred directory, but i will also try a different mac. Can I ask which OS you have?

[gmarcais]

OS X 10.10.5. It actually compiles with the built-in compiler from Apple.
