The main problem that I quickly ran into was that it didn't work with the version of perl that we had (5.004_04). I installed perl 5.6, and it works with that. The other problem quickly apparent is that tests/pr19.test fails. This test generates an empty lex file, compiles the resulting .c file, and generates a tarball with "make dist": ... echo %% > foo.l ... $MAKE || exit 1 Unfortunately, with both flex version 2.4.7, and flex version 2.5.4, the make bombs out, because the file "foo.c" doesn't have a main() function. Should it? I dunno... I installed it anyway, and noticed that "automake --add-missing" installed the "depcomp" link into the first subdir listed in the toplevel Makefile.am "SUBDIRS" variable. I think this problem has been previously reported. Once I moved depcomp to the top level, the build went fine. Thanks, -Steve

These are available for anonymous ftp at ftp.gnu.org/pub/config.
Maybe so should the others?

When I run make after running configure, it goes into a continuous loop trying to make the target 'install-recursive' AFAICT:- Making all in . make[1]: Entering directory `/eval/automake/automake-1.4d' Making install in . make[2]: Entering directory `/eval/automake/automake-1.4d' Making install in . make[3]: Entering directory `/eval/automake/automake-1.4d' Making install in . make[4]: Entering directory `/eval/automake/automake-1.4d' Making install in . This goes on until there is a system error. Can someone suggest what is going wrong here? Or what I can try to avoid it? I'm running under OS/2 BTW, so this is probably the cause, but I don't normally experience any such problems with makefiles. > Tom > -- John

I just released Automake 1.4d, the latest prerelease leading up to 1.5. Find it here: ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/automake/automake-1.4d.tar.gz This release is mostly bug fixes. There are some minor known bugs and some uncommitted patches required for 1.5 that are pending paperwork. Nevertheless, this release should be ok in many situations. Please try it and report any bugs you find. Tom
