I'm trying to build a software package that requires AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = foreign 1.7 and AC_PREREQ(2.54) on a machine that has automake-1.10 and autoconf-2.60 installed. configure finishes successfully, but make fails: $ make cd . && /bin/sh /tmp/pkg-x.y.z/config/missing --run autoheader aclocal.m4:17: error: this file was generated for autoconf 2.61. You have another version of autoconf. If you want to use that, you should regenerate the build system entirely. aclocal.m4:17: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63 autoheader: '/usr/local/bin/autom4te' failed with exit status: 63 make: *** [config.hin] Error 1 $ The distribution package was built with autoconf 2.61 indeed, but why should that affect me so? Is the only possible fix to recreate the distribution with an older autoconf (>= 2.54)? _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
