[Oisf-users] Problem with building from git and gnu autotools?

Hi all,

I'm having intermittent problems with building the 2.0dev release from
git.  I don't want to file a bug report just yet as I'm not sure whether
the issue is with the git release or my build environment.

This is my build script:

> #!/bin/sh

> cd /usr/src
> rm -rf oisf
> git clone git://phalanx.openinfosecfoundation.org/oisf.git
> cd /usr/src/oisf
> git clone -b 0.5.x git://github.com/ironbee/libhtp.git
> cd libhtp; ./autogen.sh; cd ..
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-geoip
> make && make install && ldconfig

This should work (based on past experience).  What happens now is that
it dies with errors like this:

> configure.ac:81: error: required file './ltmain.sh' not found

Re-running autogen.sh will eventually fix these errors as it appears to
be due to the autotools not running in the correct order (possible
relevant manual entry below).

The configure command completes successfully.  Make dies compiling
suricata.c:

> gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..   -I./../libhtp/  -I/usr/include/nspr  -I/usr/include/nss -I/usr/include/nspr  -DLOCAL_STATE_DIR=\"/var\" -g -O2 -Wextra -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -fno-tree-pre -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-unused-parameter -std=gnu99 -march=native -DHAVE_LIBNET11 -D_BSD_SOURCE -D__BSD_SOURCE -D__FAVOR_BSD -DHAVE_NET_ETHERNET_H -DHAVE_LIBNET_ICMPV6_UNREACH  -I/usr/include -DLIBPCAP_VERSION_MAJOR=1 -DHAVE_PCAP_SET_BUFF -DHAVE_LIBCAP_NG -DREVISION="867a44f" -MT suricata.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/suricata.Tpo -c -o suricata.o suricata.c

I had this problem before and running 'autogen.sh' twice in the libhtp
directory fixed it.  Any ideas?
