  • There is no aclocal package. aclocal is part of automake. It is already installed. Oct 16, 2016 at 10:46

The tutorial is wrong. See this comment http://www.coders-hub.com/2015/04/start-working-on-linphone-android-part-1.html?showComment=1435013985299#c2524571387228883361.

I can't install aclocal or libtoolize or pkgconfig on ubuntu 14.04.. can you explain how to do that?

If you are using 32-bit pc than no need to install these packages.

I'd bet that's true if you are using 64 bit as well. Because they don't exist!

If you want to be sure though, instead try:

sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install pkg-config

check your etc/apt/sources.list file for proper repositories. Use this link https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ for the repositories

  • I don't think you are ever going to find a repository providing a package named aclocal...
