According to Chris Pickett on 3/21/2008 2:01 PM:
| Hi Chris, and adding bug-automake,
Hi again (and replies can drop all but autoconf-patches),
| Thanks for the report. However, I'm not sure how best to proceed -
| ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS is Automake's domain, not Autoconf's.
|> Note that there is something of a precedent:
|
|> "If you want @command{autoreconf} to pass flags that are not listed here
|> on to @command{aclocal}, set @code{ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS} in your
|> @file{Makefile.am}."
Point taken. I'm applying the attached patch.
|
|> and now I remember I was responsible for that too:
|
|> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2006-03/msg00073.html
But we failed to list you in THANKS back then :)
