Ok, solved after removing m4 and reinstalling! Now autogen.sh runs without any issues. Sorry for the noise.
cheers!

These were my steps:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/m4
sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/m4
brew reinstall m4
export PATH="/usr/local/opt/m4/bin:$PATH"

Hello,
I am having this issue trying to compile from git but can't wrap my heads around it. This is the issue:
pure-data $ ./autogen.sh
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4/generated -I m4
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/m4: unrecognized option `--gnu'
Try `/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/m4 --help' for more information.
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1
I realize the problem must be with my current environment (I never had this problem before) but I can't figure out where or how to fix it. I tried checking if the problem is in m4, so I do:
$ which m4
/usr/local/opt/m4/bin/m4
$ m4 --version
m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.18
But, I also have:
$ /usr/bin/m4 --version
GNU M4 1.4.6
Which (i guess) it's the same as:
$ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/m4 --version
GNU M4 1.4.6
Any pointers on how I can fix this would be really appreciated!
Cheers,
fede
