Compilation failed about pkcs11-tools HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @mylamour, Thanks for reporting this. Let me check the issue on my side.

from pkcs11-tools.

I have tried on a fresh Ubuntu 20.10 (the latest avail version), it did work without any problem.
Also, Have you installed pkg-config ? I see this is missing in the list of required packages.

Hi, @keldonin Thanks for your reply, i'm sure pkg-config was installed at first. and my ubuntu was fresh almost.

from pkcs11-tools.

The project should compile without having to modify configure.ac. May I suggest you revert back to the original commit from the repo, and let's see if we can identify the issue from there.

1. Can you execute the following command? older versions of autotools might cause the issue.

   dpkg -l autoconf-archive autoconf automake libtool pkg-config
   

   Here is the result on my platform:

   dpkg -l autoconf-archive autoconf automake libtool pkg-config

   ii  automake         1:1.16.2-4ubuntu1   all          Tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles
   ii  libtool          2.4.6-14            all          Generic library support script
   ii  pkg-config       0.29.2-1ubuntu1     amd64        manage compile and link flags for libraries
   

2. Also, make sure that autoconf-archive is deployed. (This should be revealed by the previous command)

3. Finally, can you execute this command, to identify the exact version of your Ubuntu and share the result, so I can try to reproduce the issue:

   lsb_release -a
   

Thanks,
