I'm trying to generate a configuration file for xfce4-xkb-plugin from source and I get this error:



alex@alex:~/Repos/xfce4-xkb-plugin$ sudo ./autogen.sh 
Preparing package directory /home/alex/Repos/xfce4-xkb-plugin...
Running glib-gettextize --force --copy...
Copying file mkinstalldirs
Copying file po/Makefile.in.in

Please add the files
codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
progtest.m4
from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

Running intltoolize --automake --copy --force
cp: cannot create regular file `m4/intltool.m4': No such file or directory
intltoolize: cannot copy '/usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4' to 'm4/intltool.m4'


How can I get the following files from the official repos?




  1. codeset.m4

  2. gettext.m4

  3. glibc21.m4

  4. iconv.m4

  5. isc-posix.m4

  6. lcmessage.m4

  7. progtest.m4

  8. config.guess

  9. config.sub

You can safely ignore the "Please add..." message. It is benign.



The important bit is the last message. Confirm that /usr/share/aclocal/intltool.m4 exists and that the m4 local directory exists.



As an aside, it's unusual to run autogen.sh with sudo, though that shouldn't create a problem. You will just have to also run make under sudo.
