Error: autoreconf -ivf

[meness]

Hi,

I'm using the version 5.3.0 of NPM and getting following error after npm install.

× Error: autoreconf -ivf && ./configure --disable-gifview --disable-gifdiff --prefix="xxx\node_modules\gifsicle\vendor" --bindir=
"xxx\node_modules\gifsicle\vendor" && make install
Command failed: autoreconf -ivf

How about on Windows??

The update to 4.0.1 broke installation on Alpine Linux.

Output:
⚠ spawn /root/node_modules/gifsicle/vendor/gifsicle ENOENT
  ⚠ gifsicle pre-build test failed
  ℹ compiling from source
  ✖ Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c autoreconf -ivf
/bin/sh: autoreconf: not found

(4.0.0 installs fine)

How about on Windows??

I've the same problem

[gsaini]

Also doesn't work without gulp.

Linux:
sudo apt-get install libtool automake autoconf nasm

In Alpine, apk add libtool automake autoconf nasm is not sufficient as it leads to configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH. apk add build-base helped me with this problem, but that for itself says OK: 271 MiB in 52 packages. It really forces staged builds.

我在Windows机器上也有同样
我也是，请问你们这个问题解决了吗?
Me too.Have you solved this problem?

[Pines-Cheng]

Linux:
sudo apt-get install libtool automake autoconf nasm
OS X:
brew install libtool automake autoconf nasm

fixed my problem.

I'm on Windows. As per this comment, adding the following entries to the hosts file temporarily solved the problem for me:

Just ran into this issue with version 5.1.0. Locally it seem fine. However running with circle ci i get the error:

Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c autoreconf -ivf
/bin/sh: 1: autoreconf: not found

Any workaround yet?

@lhtdesignde I had the same error message in Ubuntu 20.04. I solved the problem by running sudo apt-get install autoconf .

I am not very experienced with Circle CI, but perhaps there a way to configure it to install autoconf prior to running npm install? For example, I sometimes uses Docker for development, and with that you can setup your Dockerfile to run CLI commands and install different types of dependencies in a specific order.

[wenjq2018]

I have the same on Win

Not sure if that will help future users on Windows, but for me, the issue was that I was behind a corporate proxy. Disabling it solved the issue and the pre-build test passed successfully.
