Hi, A quick search of Google and this mailing list's archives couldn't help me, so hopefully someone on this list can. I'm new to autotools, and I'm trying to follow the tutorial at http://www-src.lip6.fr/homepages/Alexandre.Duret-Lutz/autotools.html which seems to be very up-to-date. It includes a Hello World example that is also given in the automake manual at http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Creating-amhello Copying the source code listed on that page into the specified files and running autoreconf yielded the following results on my system: % autoreconf --install configure.ac:4: `automake requires `AM_CONFIG_HEADER', not `AC_CONFIG_HEADER' configure.ac: installing `./install-sh' configure.ac: installing `./mkinstalldirs' configure.ac: installing `./missing' configure.ac:2: option `-Wall' not recognized configure.ac:2: option `-Wall' not recognized autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 No Makefile.in was created in any directory. Any idea what's wrong? More info about my system is below.
