automake Real Millenium Beta: Problem with AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
Hi, I installed the Real Millenium Beat (1.4b) on my Cygwin system (Windows 95). My configure.in uses AM_PROG_LIBTOOL and automake complains that it is obsolete and that I should use AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. Ok, so when I make the change, autoconf (version 2.13) says that it can't find AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. Do I need a newer version of autoconf? Perhaps this is an aclocal problem? Dave

Good question. What version of libtool are you using? Alexandre, if the most recent real libtool release still uses AM_PROG_LIBTOOL (I don't know, I haven't looked), then maybe we should just eliminate the obsolete warning for AM_PROG_LIBTOOL for the time being.

Automake Real Millenium Beta
I think the real start of the new millenium deserves a new Automake as well. To that end, I've updated the automake version to 1.4b and put a release up. The cvs automake is now `1.4c'. There are plenty of bugs left, I'm sure. Some known issues: * The documentation is not nearly up to date * There are several bugs that haven't been fixed. For instance, the new dependency tracking code probably won't work with BSD make. I don't have a BSD box for testing :-( * There are some patches I haven't yet looked at. Still, please try this version out and send email to the list if you have problems. Chances are good that the next major automake release will be my last one. Over the last couple of years my interest in automake has been waning. I would like to find a new maintainer, and limit my participation in development to an advisory role. Here's the tarball: ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/automake/automake-1.4b.tar.gz This ftp site is heavily throttled, so it might make sense to either use cvs or to wait until the mirrors pick it up. Here is a list of mirrors: http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html Tom

Please do consider the patch in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/2000-12/msg3.html It cleans up 'depcomp' handling.
