Cherrytree: Building cherrytree on windows 7 "autoreconf: command not found"

Created on 15 Aug 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: giuspen/cherrytree

I have the latest version of this repo. I am trying to build on windows 7 by following the readme.md on master. I have followed each line meticulously and got stuck at ./autogen.sh command. My MSYS64 has the output:
./autogen.sh: line 7: autoreconf: command not found
From a quick google search it looks like I need to install something called "autotools" but I don't know how to install it.

I tried skipping ./autogen.sh and ran ./configure --disable-memory-leak-detection but now I can't 'make' as MSYS64 says 'bash: make: command not found'.

Then, on MSYS2's github wiki it says if we are compiling from a source release I can just 'pacman -S automake autoconf' so I did that. But couldn't continue down this path either.

Any tips?

Also for some weird reason I had to input some commands twice due to bash not being able to recognize pacman as a command.

There is no autogen.sh in current version https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree what are you building

I think it's cpputest

Ok I'll try myself from scratch and update the README

I updated the README after going through the whole sequence myself from scratch

Thanks a lot! The build was successful and I launched 0.99.8 successfully!
