The patch is not useful, the Makefile.in are automaticaly generated from the Makefile.am by automake. I have build a new snapshot of amanda-2.4.3b4 with automake-1.5, this fixe the problem with IRIX make. The snapshot is at http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~martinea/amanda/amanda-2.4.3b4-20020917-with-automake-1.5.tar.gz I would appreciate if many people try it, if it break nothing, I will use automake-1.5 to build the stable 2.4.3 Jean-Louis > An explanation of the problem is here: > > http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-automake/1999/msg00267.html > > -- > Brandon D.
