RUN CONFIGURE not working, unable to build libnfc

[asad04]

I'm following the tutorial on this website: (learn.adafruit[.][com]/adafruit-nfc-rfid-on-raspberry-pi?view=all)
My problem begins at step 3: Run Config.

Every time I attempt to run the command ($ ./configure --with-drivers=pn532_uart --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr)
I get the error: "-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"

I am using a raspberry pi rev.b with an 8 GB sd card, on Raspbian(NOOBS).

Which folder are you in when you run configure? You might also try 'chmod +x configure'

I have the same problem. Please tell me which folder should i be in when i am configure.

I am now in the folder of /home/pi/libnfc.1.7.0/libnfc

Same problem here. libnfc 1.7.1 + RPi B + Raspbian (clean install).

What do you get from `ls -l`?

Oh lovely.. they've migrated their toolchain to the GNU autoreconf system.

First of all, check to see if you have the relevant program on your machine now:

Code: Select all

which autoreconf

If that returns the path to a file with that name (probably in /bin/ or /user/bin/), you're good. If it doesn't do anything, install the autoreconf tools with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf

Once you have the correct software, do:

Code: Select all

autoreconf -vis
./configure
make
make install

Brilliant Mike, I'm all sorted now with the install.
