Hey,
I guess the reason checking automake version is to guarantee the regeneration of configure, Makefile.in etc. For the people who just run configure without modification of configure.{in|ac}, Makefile.am, etc etc, I guess you won't ask them to install automake-1.11. If my guessing is right, the popular method would be packing autogen.sh with version checking.
we actually pack autogen.sh. Checking the version of automake in it and use it in configure.ac is indeed a solution.
Is there a better one ? thanks Vincent Torri _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
