autoconf from cvs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is a potential pitfall when grabbing autoconf via CVS from the
git repository which is that VERSION is computed by build-aux/git-version-gen
which runs git describe. If you checked out via CVS, git rightly complains
that the checkout isn't a git repository. VERSION is then UNKNOWN, rather
than say 2.61a.265-feef9-dirty. m4_version_prereq([2.57]) eg in local.at
then fails.

% bin/autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) UNKNOWN

Cheers,

Patrick
