 Ok, I tried to ./reconf on gambas2.9 source folder, and I got exactly
same errors
 than with gambas3 source.
 I'm pretty confused right now.
 I upgraded Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 at 31 Oct 2008. Then I found gambas
and I installed
 it from ubuntu repository. I noticed that it is not latest version so
I compiled 2.9 from
 source at 19 Nov 2008. So when has libtool version changed?
 I assumed libtool 2.2.4 was shipped with Ubuntu 8.10.
 So I have no clue which libtool version I really had when I compiled 2.9.


> You must download the package first I suppose...

  Hah! Crap... of course. That command doesn't use repositories...

Ok, I downloaded libtool 1.5.

Then:
sudo dpkg --force-downgrade -i libtool_1.5.26-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb

   Done ok.


Then:
svn checkout https://gambas.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gambas/gambas/trunk/

   Checked out revision 1742.


Then:
./reconf-all

And I get these two lines:

configure.ac: required file `./mkinstalldirs' not found
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
