Hello.

What versions of auto-tools should be used?

At the moment
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Build_System#Tool_Versions
suggest

Trunk (5.6-to-be) and 5.5+ uses autoconf 2.63 while the others use 2.59.
Make sure you use the right one when applying changes!

Trunk (5.6-to-be) and 5.5+ ships with libtool 2.2.6a.
5.4.2+ ships with libtool 1.5.26 (5.4/5.4.1 shipped with 1.5.24)
the older branches use libtool 1.5.22.

There are a few things here:

First, we have never specified an automake version, presumably since we
only use aclocal. Is tihs a problem?

Second, this is a line from configure on trunk (r19354):

# Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.65 for Net-SNMP 5.6.rc1.

Should we rise the bar?

>From the autoconf NEWS file

2.65:
** The AC_TYPE_UINT64_T and AC_TYPE_INT64_T macros have been fixed to no
   longer mistakenly select a 32-bit type on some compilers (bug present
   since macros were introduced in 2.59c).

2.66:
** AC_CHECK_DECL and AC_CHECK_DECLS accept optional function argument 
   types for overloaded C++ functions.
   (Might sound irrelevant to us but in fact it bites on C under
    windows, but I have to check in order to verify that this helps
    there)

** The macros AC_TYPE_INT8_T, AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, and
   AC_TYPE_INT64_T work again.  Regression introduced in 2.65.

2.67:
** AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS with more than one subdirectory at a time works 
   again. Regression introduced in 2.66.

** AC_CHECK_SIZEOF of a pointer type works again.  Regression 
   introduced in 2.66.
