I am new to autotools, and struggeling.

As I understand the build system, to add a new source file, I should add it to Makefile.am and then run autotools, but running autotools fails. I guess this is standard autotools stuff, but I could not find any information on how to get past the AC_COIN_INITIALIZE error online.

When I run autoreconf in the root of the project, I get the following output:

~/dev/Ipopt$ autoreconf
configure.ac:24: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_COIN_INITIALIZE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

Yes, we have a special system on how to run the autotools in order to ensure that developers use consistent versions of the tools and macros.

The macros like AC_COIN_INITIALIZE and the scripts to run autotools live in a separate repository: https://github.com/coin-or-tools/BuildTools/. Folling the steps in the readme there should get you going.

Ah, thanks. That was the missing piece. I am able to reconfigure the project now. Thank you.
