Just want to clarify the minimum supported version of automake, autoconf, libtool and pthread for libusbx.
As per Pete, autoconf needs to be 2.50 minimum. What about automake? I think probably 1.10 should be the one to go. I do not see a problem with these two (automake 1.10 and autoconf 2.50) in reality. Automake 1.10.1 is dated 21-Jan-2008. http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/ Autoconf 2.50 is dated 21-May-2001 which is really old. http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/ libtool is often a problem due to the need to support Windows. Eg: for old version of libtool. ./configure: line 3371: LT_INIT: command not found ./configure: line 3372: syntax error near unexpected token `Windows' ./configure: line 3372: `LT_LANG(Windows Resource)' >From the past discussion, libtool 2.2.8 release should be the minimum version (for MinGW-w64 support). http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=25711845 libtool 2.2.8 is dated 04-Jun-2010 which is about 2 years old but I think it is not a big problem to ask users to upgrade to this version of newer. I have no problems to install libtool 2.4.2 under various version of OpenBSD/NetBSD which comes with libtool 2.2.6b or older. What about pthread? I just tried to build libusbx-1.0.11 release under Ubuntu 8.04 (already obsoleted) and it gives error. I am not saying that libusbx needs to be fixed to suit for older distros but just wondering what is the minimum pthread (or glibc) version required.
