I agree that AC_PREREQ should ideally specify the oldest version possible. In real-life, I believe the following rough solution might be sufficient: - install an oldish version of Autoconf and Automake, test that the setup works, and write the version numbers to configure.ac - If a developer complains that a particular combination does not work, install the versions he reported, and if the problem can be reproduced, increase the requirements, adding a comment. At this time, no one should use versions older than Autoconf 2.59 and Automake 1.9.6. So I suggest that you temporarily downgradde to these, run "rm -r autom4te.cache&&autoreconf -f" and test the result. If it seems to work, specify AC_PREREQ([2.59]) ... AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([1.9.6]) in configure.ac initially. (If things work with 2.59 and with the latest devel build, the chance that they will break with one of the inbetween versions is not that big.)
