If I had been more careful, projects would have been warned beforehand with non-fatal warnings, and would have add all the time to update their configure.ac before the warning became fatal. > So in the hope that projects would be better prepared for future > autotool releases, a quick note about autoupdate: > http://cazfi.livejournal.com/195108.html > Actually, Automake is not using AU_DEFUN for the macros (or macro usages) currently deprecated; it's merely printing warnings in the category "obsolete". Since warnings in this category are enabled be default (in automake since the 1.12.4 release, while in autoconf they should be since the future release 2.70), the best way to upgrade your 'configure.ac' and/or 'Makefile.am' is to pay attention to the warning messages (they should give enough of a hint about how to modernize your usage, or at least give pointers to documentation explaining how to do so).
