------------------------------------------
Summary: build: autotools: add foreign to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
Key: THRIFT-5429
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5429
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build Process
Affects Versions: 0.14.1, 0.14.0, 0.13.0, 0.12.0, 0.11.0, 0.10.0, 0.9.3.1,
0.9.3, 0.9.2, 0.9.1, 0.9
Environment: Any platform where autotools is available (so really any
platform).
I'll create a PR on github - it's a one-liner.
Reporter: Christopher Friedt
Add `foreign` to `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE()` in `configure.ac` to prevent errors about
"missing" files. Autotools projects have historically required these to be
present, but they are less critical these days with git repos.
