I am on macOS Sierra and I want to install the GNU autotools. So I previously installed m4 and made it available in my PATH.which m4 return /Users/adrien/dev/m4/bin/m4 (I install all the GNU tools in the folder $HOME/dev) and when I ran the configuration script of autoconf it find m4 in the right directory but it says me :
checking for GNU M4 that supports accurate traces... /Users/adrien/dev/m4
checking whether /Users/adrien/dev/m4 accepts --gnu... no
configure: WARNING: the version of M4 that was found does not support -g
configure: WARNING: using it with POSIXLY_CORRECT set may cause problems
but m4 --version return m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.17 and man m4 return
-g, --gnu
override -G to re-enable GNU extensions
Everything looks good m4 supports -g and --gnu, so I dont understand why the configuration script doesn't recognized it well.
The reason I worried about it is because I previously tried to install autoconf and make installcheck returned an error and, once autoconf is installed, automake doesn't recognized autoconf even if it is available in my path

I have installed msys2 using chocolatey.
I have tried msys2-installer module from chocolatey too.
But I can not find objdump on my system. Should I install something more ?
MSYS2 supports three different compiler toolchains, all with their own objdump utility. I'm not sure which one you want to use, but you can just install them all by running:
sudo pacman -S binutils mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils mingw-w64-i686-binutils
I'm trying to install GNU automake. When running ./configure I get the following error message in the terminal:
checking whether autoconf is installed... yes
checking whether autoconf works... no
configure: error: The installed version of autoconf does not work.
Please check config.log for error messages before this one
Looking at the config.log I can't figure out where the problem is. My guess it that it's with tex but I'm not sure what program that is even referring to. I installed TexStudio and that didn't resolve it.
The log file is pasted below:

As Diego said, if you install autoconf from the repositories it will install the version 2.68. For some reason, you might have the version 2.13 installed.
If it is the case remove the old version and install the default version:
sudo apt-get remove autoconf2.13 && sudo apt-get install autoconf
Autoconf 2.1 is very old and has significantly different semantics from the current version (2.69, called the "2.5 series".)
Ubuntu appears to have separate packages for autoconf 2.1 and 2.6x but I'm not sure how they select across the two.
During my installation of Code::Blocks on my kali-linux machine
after executing ./configure command on my program directory , everything is okay until i try to make my program .
here is my error message :
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.13' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or 'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'aclocal' 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: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 127
i tried every single solution on the Internet
nothing worked , including autoreconf commands
installing the automake tool , libtool which is already installed on my up-dated machine . also tried to install what the error message says which is m4 and perl but i found that they also are installed
if possible to provide me another way to install Code:blocks IDE , i'd be very happy , thanks .
Install automake.
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/aclocal /usr/bin/aclocal-1.13
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/automake /usr/bin/automake-1.13
Try to install automake
sudo apt-get install automake
It includes the library you're looking for.
I had same problem compiling PCRE and it did the trick.
Did you change anything such as the m4 files? That might be the problem, you changed something so that the compiler can't read it.

If i run whereis command, i get following output :----
/pi/libtool-2.4.2$ whereis libtool
libtool:
I have to install libtool version 2.4.2, to get rid of above error.
Now i have installed 2.4.2 version for libtool :---
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.tar.gz
After installing 2.4.2 version of libtool, If i run whereis command, i get following output :----
/pi/libtool-2.4.2$ whereis libtool
libtool: /usr/local/bin/libtool
But if i run libtool --version:---
/home/pi$ libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.26 (1.1220.2.492 2008/01/30 06:40:56)
Why libtool --version command is not showing the latest installed version of libtool 2.4.2?
Also i am getting same error for libwebsocket when i run ./autogen.sh .
Have you tried the latest version (1.22) using CMake? It's straight forward to build.
$ git clone git://git.libwebsockets.org/libwebsockets
$ cd libwebsockets/
Read README.build. Don't know the old version of libwebsockets, but I guess it's
now more towards using CMake rather than autotools.
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/local
The last line is similar to:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
The whole thing built pretty quick and without any issue.

I already have the zlib1g-dev library installed:
$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
zlib1g-dev is already the newest version.
(I get that from this link.)
I had the exact same error, and like you, installing zlib1g-dev did not fix it. Installing lib32z1-dev got me past it. I have a 64 bit system and it seems like it wanted the 32 bit library.
For x64 install zlib1g-dev.
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
I don't need all the x86 libs ;)
sudo apt-get install libz-dev in ubuntu.
I just encountered this problem and contrary to the accepted solution of "your make files are broken" and "host includes should never be included in a cross compile"
The android build includes many host executables used by the SDK to build an android app.
In my case the make stopped while building zipalign, which is used to optimize an apk before installing on an android device.
Installing lib32z1-dev solved my problem, under Ubuntu you can install it with the following command:
sudo apt-get install lib32z1-dev
I had the exact same error, Installing zlib-devel solved my problem,
Type the command and install zlib package.
On linux:
sudo apt-get install zlib*
On Centos:
sudo yum install zlib*
Another possible cause: You've passed --static to the linker, but you only have a dynamic version of libz (libz.so), but not a version that can be statically linked (libz.a).
Try one of those three solution. It must work :) :
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install libz-dev
sudo apt-get install lib32z1-dev
In fact what is missing is not the lz command, but the development files for the zlib library.So you should install zlib1g-devlib for ex to get it.
For rhel7 like systems the package is zlib-devel
It means you asked it to include the library 'libz.a' or 'libz.so' containing a compression package, and although the compiler found some files, none of them was suitable for the build you are using.
You either need to change your build parameters or you need to get the correct library installed or you need to specify where the correct library is on the link command line with a -L/where/it/is/lib type option.
This will show you clues about why the linker doesn't want the installed library:
LD_DEBUG=all make ...
I had the same problem in a different context: my system /lib/libz.so.1 had unsatisfied dependencies on libc because I was trying to relink on a different version of the OS.
for opensuse 12.3 (Dartmouth) (i586)
sudo zypper install zlib-devel zlib-devel-static
Others have mentioned that lib32z-dev solves the problem, but in general the required packages can be found here:
