I have not compiled from source in sometime, but want to try out the latest changes, but hit a snag with running autogen.sh.
Apparently, CentOS 5.7 version of autoconf is older than what the nmh build process says is required. CentOS 5.7 provides autoconfig 2.59 but nmh is configured to require 2.61 and later. Before I go off to download and build the latest version of autoconf, what are the reasons that 2.61 is the minimal version? Searching the commit archives, looks like the autoconf version number was up'ed to 2.61 on Nov 19, 2010 (so it has definitely been some time since I've built from scratch): http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-commits/2010-11/msg00004.html I guess this leads up to the follow-up question: What are the minimal requirements needed to build nmh from repository checkout? The docs/README.developers states the following: If you wish to change the `configure' script or its related files, you'll need to first install GNU m4, available from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/m4/> and then GNU autoconf (<ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf/>). Nmh is currently using a minimum of autoconf 2.54. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
