Build Disruptor in C++ gives error on autoconf

Question

I downloaded the disruptor sources from here:

https://github.com/fsaintjacques/disruptor--

I then tried but get the given error. Is there something that I am missing?

autoconf configure.ac > configure

configure.ac:9: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:19: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_0X

Answer 1

Ask the developer to provide a bootstrap script and/or build instructions. Most likely you need:

aclocal
autoconf
automake -a
./configure
make

With possibly some non-default options (e.g. add --foreign to the automake invocation).
