./configure is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Question

I am trying to use this github code in github shell, but the message

./configure is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

$ git clone [email protected]:jedisct1/libsodium.git
    $ ( cd libsodium && \
    ./configure --prefix="/usr/local" --disable-ssp --disable-pie \
                    --disable-silent-rules && \
    make && make check && sudo make install && make clean )

what to do to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Check out do you have installed [autogen], [autoconf] and [libtool] packages.

Answer 2

I had same error while I was trying to figure out how to compile htmlcxx on Windows using MinGW and running

autoreconf -i`

before "./configure" helped me with this issue.
