Now I think I'm left with just one dilemna. The docs say I need to run autoreconf -fvi after an autotools upgrade. I think that means my helper Makefile (the one that runs autoreconf, makes a build directory, runs configure and make) needs to run autoreconf -fvi to be safe, yes? What's involved in making autoreconf smart enough to deal with autotools upgrades without using -f? -DB _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
