Some searches indicated that this may be an issue with timestamps being wrong, but I would think that would affect everyone trying to build this.

Any clues?

[deshipu]

Have you tried just installing that aclocal?

[jms]

Personally I think the whole autoconf system is a load of rubbish.

aclocal is something to do with local customisations which ablmost nobody does, at least using it, because it's such a mess. I have no doubt that particular version is present on some systems. One technique (hack) I have learnt is to do autoreconf -f -i but this should not be necessary ideally.

[deshipu]

Well, all the tools we have suck in one way or another. On the other hand, we can still use them to make awesome things, even though they suck. Personally I'm happy to have tools, even when they are not perfect.

(And yes, I write my makefiles by hand and try to make them pretty.)

[preiter]

So it looks like I have aclocal-1.14 installed and the scripts for esp-open-sdk is specifically looking for aclocal-1.15.

Aclocal is part of the automake package and I seem to have the latest version available of automake.

I'm running on the windows subsystem for linux on Windows 10 which is supposed to be Ubuntu, but I'm not sure what release.

[preiter]

Success!

I faked it out by adding a softlink from aclocal-1.14 to aclocal-1.15 in /usr/bin. I had to do the same thing with automake-1.14.
