I do have the autoconf-archive M4 macros installed. The change for
AX_CHECK_GL was put into a merge request for the release, and that
seems risky to me. It should be merged into head separately in
advance, with perhaps a day for others to verify that they can
reproduce the build.
Dependence on autoconf-archive M4 macros is risky because not all
systems will have the same version. It is worth encouraging testing
to make sure that it works with the autoconf-archive provided by
various major OS versions.
The only way to assure that the macros are the desired latest release
version is to retrieve them from gnu.org (which was down for a day or
two in this past week).
hum, ok if that's thought to be controversial / risky, I'm leaning to
reverting this merge request and let other people deal with the issues
it tried to solve. I don't care about autoconf builds when I've the
chance to be able to use CMake instead (if that was just me, I would get
rid of autoconf support from libtiff to only keep the CMake one, and
just maintain one single build system, but that's a battle for another
time), and I don't want to be bothered with autoconf related issues and
having to do several RCs due to that.
