I’m trying to compile vqadmin on x86_amd64 (64 bit Debian) and I got error during ./configure . The error I got is as follows:
debian:~/vqadmin-2.3.7# ./configure --enable-cgibindir=/var/www/mail/cgi-bin -enable-htmldir=/var/www/mail/ --enable-isoqlog=y
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
/downloads/vqadmin-2.3.7/missing: Unknown `--run' option
Try `/downloads/vqadmin-2.3.7/missing --help' for more information
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized
So my compile failed with:
checking build system type… Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux’: machine `x86_64-unknown’ not recognized
Thanksfully, there is a tiny script which originally is part of the CVS project. I’ve modified a bit the script to remove few lines of code which are not necessery. The `x86_64-unknown-linux’: machine `x86_64-unknown’ not recognized fix script fix_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.sh is here
To fix up the broken configure all required is:
debian:~/vqadmin-2.3.7# sh fix_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.sh
Next on I could compile normally again vqadmin just fine.

Hello,
I’ve try your fix on the same environment and I have following error :
fix_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.sh: 49: aclocal: not found
fix_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.sh: aclocal failed
Do you have any idea about it ?
Hello,
You will have to install automake.
(if debian)
# apt-get install automake
( fedora, centos and other redhat derivatives)
#yum install automake
Hope this helps
Best!
Georgi
Thanks for the tips !
My other alternative was to use the config.sub file from vpopmail-5.4.33 (just replace config.sub in the root directory of vqadmin-2.3.7)
Hi,
I am facing the following error when executing the script.
oc/api/Makefile.am:1: CREATE_API_DOCS does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
doc/api/Makefile.am:9: CREATE_API_DOCS does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
doc/api/Makefile.am:39: CREATE_API_DOCS does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
lib/Makefile.am:30: INSTALL_GLIBJ_ZIP does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

lib/Makefile.am:40: INSTALL_CLASS_FILES does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
lib/Makefile.am:106: REGEN_PARSERS does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
fix_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.sh: automake failed
Any idea how this issue can be resolved?
like @Thibs said the file ‘config.sub’ contains the supported CPUs, if it’s an old version, it wont support newer CPUs.
you can get the latest version of ‘config.sub’ from:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub;hb=HEAD
just copy the latest version of ‘config.sub’ and replace to the one that’s in the folder of what you are trying to run the ./configure
good luck to anyone having the same problem
