Not really. even the newest version of these two scripts work with the oldest setup I found. consequently it shouldn't ship config.guess or config.sub either. these two cause frequently more trouble. consequently it should either not ship libtool at all, or ship a working libool version and use that one. the hardcoded libtoolize call in autogen.sh isn't the best way of doing things - imho avifile should come with one libtool that works. no need add libtool dependencies into the mess, especially as libtool is in cvs, but removed by automake everytime (screws up dependencies). consequently it shouldn't expose automake-version specific behaviour by putting configure.in and configure.ac there. all automake versions can read configure.in, not all can read configure.ac. why there is a symlink is beyond me. consequently it shouldn't put generated files in cvs and use hacks like touch to fix the dependencies again. > I've got autoconf 2.13 with automake 1.4 and it worked fine for me > ever since. Can't tell you about automake 1.5 for sure. As far as I > know they broke a lot of their compatibility with 1.4. Yes and no. Its for sure more strict and doesn't tolerate that many errors anymore.
