Re: Automake 1.6 Release
New in 1.6: * Autoconf 2.52 is required. That's bad. I have no intention yet to switch my projects to 2.5x.

coexist multiple versions of automake
Sorry if this has been brought up before. I would like to propose we modify automake (and autoconf) to allow multiple versions of automake coexisting on a given system. In our work, we used various open source libraries and each one of them work with a particular version of automake. This makes it hard for us to upgrade. If automake can be specified as automake-1.4 and automake-1.6 like what tcl did in the past, this will make people's life a lot easier. Since I am not familiar with the inner work of automake, for the already released versions, how hard will it be to patch them to allow for this? I would really like to have 2 libraries using different version of automake to work together. Thanks in advance.
what caused the 'missing separator' message from the make?
I am using automake-1.5 and one of the open source library I am trying to build use automake for its build. However, the configure seems to generate a malformed Makefile which failed to build with message: configure make -f Makefile ... Makefile:383: *** missing separator. Stop. THe Makefile around line 383 contains non-processed automake stuff: 380 - distclean-compile: 381 - -rm -f *.tab.c 382 - 383 - AMDEP_TRUEam__include am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/SQLAllocHandle.Plo@am__quote 384 - AMDEP_TRUEam__include am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/SQLBindCol.Plo@am__quote 385 - AMDEP_TRUEam__include am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/SQLBindParameter.Plo@am__quote 386 - AMDEP_TRUEam__include am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/SQLBrowseConnect.Plo@am__quote What might be the problem of this? Where should I begin to troubleshoot? Any help will be appreciated. Note: I can not upgrade to version 1.6 because I have another library the does not work with autoconf 2.52 which is required by automake 1.6.

This is a new feature in 1.6. So, it already works. `make install' will install automake and automake-1.6. We expect system integrators like Debian or Red Hat to pick which version `automake' should be linked to. Tom

Allan When you say libraries, are you referring to
Allan libXXX.{a,so}, or The ABC Corp Widget Library (a
Allan collection of libraries and non-standard tools)?
Sorry I did not state clearly. I meant libraries used by my project
at work, e.g., ucd-snmp, unixODBC. These libraries use the automake
and we just use them as is without playing much with them.
Allan Segmenting automake into automake-1.4/1.5/1.6 might be OK
Allan so long as users have the choice of choosing
Allan automake-X.y, or simply choosing automake (which would
Allan continue to be the latest automake major revision). I for
Allan one like to install automake, and know that when my check
Allan for updates yields nothing new, my automake is the
Allan latest.
The problem we have is ucd-snmp choked on autoconf 2.52 and forced us
to roll back to 2.13. With autoconf 2.13 we cannot upgrade the
automake to 1.6 which requires autoconf 2.52. Can you see the problem
now?
Allan This *is* an automake issue, and not a libtool issue,
Allan right?
In general, when the building blocks are in constant change and
various packages only work with certain version than we have a
problem. The problem I mentioned showed up in automake but definitely
not limited to it. libtool, autoconf are all likely candidates.

[...] You may want to have a look at my packaging of Autoconf 2.13 and Autoconf 2.52 for Debian, which includes an heuristic that automatically picks the right version of Autoconf to run in most cases. As for Automake, I don't know. I'm sure that other posters to this list will, though.
