Ok, tried that on linux.

autoreconf demanded automake 1.12, which isn't available via .debs on 
ubuntu yet, so I installed that from the sources.

after that I get this error message:

configure.ac:873: warning: macro 'AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
configure.ac:900: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

I simply don't know enough about automake internals to even know where 
to begin to go about such errors. What library would such macros be 
defined in? And if I knew that, would I even want to do any changes 
there? Or is that generated from one of the dozens of scripts in the 
auto toolchain? I wouldn't even know where one might apply that 
m4_pattern_allow. What I can gather it could also just be a sign of a 
syntax error in the configure.ac.

Regards
