Thanks. I managed to distcheck CVS Corutils with CVS Automake, Autoconf 2.59, and Gettext 0.12.1. I've run `autoreconf -vfi', which probably installed the files from Gettext 0.11.5 since that's what configure.ac asks. make distcheck then failed with info: Writing node (libc.info.gz)Formatting Calendar Time... info: Done. m4/gettext.m4: cat "$ac_given_srcdir/$ac_dir/POTFILES.in" | sed -e "/^#/d" -e "/^[ ]*\$/d" -e "s,.*, $top_srcdir/& \\\\," | sed -e "\$s/\(.*\) \\\\/\1/" > "$ac_dir/POTFILES" m4/progtest.m4: IFS="${IFS= }"; ac_save_ifs="$IFS"; IFS="${IFS}:" Makefile.maint: found SPACE-TAB sequence; remove the SPACE make[2]: *** [sc_space_tab] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/adl/projs/cvs/coreutils' make[1]: *** [distcheck-hook] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/adl/projs/cvs/coreutils' make: *** [distcheck] Error 2 I've thus commented the sc_space_tab check from Makefile.maint, and distcheck succeeded.
