Hi,
Over the past couple of days I've been fine tuning my gentoo ebuild scripts
for CVS SimGear and FlightGear. Chris Horler has been great in answering my
dumb questions about the automake and autoconf tools.
So rather than just ask Chris dumb question I thought I'd come here too ;-)
My problem is that if I use autotools version 1.5 or 1.6 that flightgear won't
pass configure (simgear is fine past this stage at any of those 2 versions).
The failure comes in that automake --add-missing does not copy over
config.sub and config.guess. If I set WANT_AUTOMAKE to 1.7 or 1.8 then it
preforms this process and it passes ./configure and goes to compile without
any problems.
My question is should autogen.sh refer to newer versions of autotools or is my
Gentoo broken in this respect (however bear in mind I've compiled over 300
packages on this setup and not run into the problem as yet)?
I've also had the config.sub/guess problem on Debian-based Linux, but not on Cygwin.
I hadn't twigged before that I was using automake 1.7 on Cygwin, and 1.6 on Linux. So
no, I don't think it's perculiar to your system.
Cheers - Dave
