Hi,
I try to build the asn1c package, see below. But this fails with the
following error message.
/gnu/store/…-automake-1.15/share/automake-1.15/am/ltlibrary.am:
warning: 'libasn1compiler.la': linking libtool libraries using a non-POSIX
archiver requires 'AM_PROG_AR' in 'configure.ac'
Is this a common issue?
(define-public asn1c
(package
(name "asn1c")
(version "0.9.27")
(source (origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append "https://lionet.info/soft/asn1c-" version

I have never seen this before. Have you tried patching “configure.ac”
as it says, adding “AM_PROG_AR” somewhere?

You could also try adding gettext and pkg-config to native-inputs.
Some autotools errors magically disappear sometimes...

This did not help in this case.

For now I worked around this issue by adding this line near the top of
the confiure.ac:
m4_ifdef([AM_PROG_AR], [AM_PROG_AR])
This is what I've found when searching the internet for an solution.

The beauty of autotools is that users do not need to install them:
tarballs contain everything one needs to configure, build, and install
the thing.
That is indeed the case here:

The above shows that the Autoconf- and Automake-generated files are
indeed present in the tarball, so you don’t need to use the autotools at
all.
HTH!

I did not know. I thought it's always a good idea to run autoconf.
Removing the autotools-stuff fixed the problem. I'll submit a patch later.
