Hi One of the platforms I _need_ to support for development is CentOS 5, which comes with very old versions of the autotools: m4-1.4.5-3.el5.1 autoconf-2.59-12 automake-1.9.6-2.1 libtool-1.5.22-7.el5_4 I have tried to get approval to update to more recent versions to no avail. I am currently running into the following problem when I rebuild the build system using autoreconf: autoheader: warning: missing template: HAVE_LIB[]uppercase[] autoheader: Use AC_DEFINE([HAVE_LIB[]uppercase[]], [], [Description]) autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoheader failed with exit status: 1 The macro that produces this error is of the form: AC_DEFUN([LALSUITE_TEST],[ define([uppercase],translit($1, "a-z", "A-Z")) AC_DEFINE([HAVE_LIB[]uppercase[]],[1],[Define to 1 if you have the $1 library]) ]) this is a simplified version of the macro I'm using, but illustrates the problem. If I locally update to the latest versions of autoconf and automnake the build works, but not using the system autoconf and automake. Is there a way I can work round this issue with these old autotools versions?
