Dear Xvid devs,
first, let me congratulate you to the 1.3.0 release.
However, I've found issues with your usage of autoconf in the
build/generic directory:
1) The files config.guess and config.sub in this directory are
*ancient* (they date back to 2003) and should really get replaced by
more current ones. They are available e.g. here:
<http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config>
2a) The configure script has been created with an ancient version
(2.59) of autoconf, which also dates back to 2003. Please regenerate
it with a current version of autoconf.
2b) But then, the configure.in template for autoconf contains a syntax
error that makes the generated configure script generate faulty code.
Please find a simple patch attached or (in case it gets mangled) here:
<http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/xvidcore.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/configure.in-fix.patch>
Best regards,
Fabian
