I get the following warnings from autoconf: configure.ac:87: warning: The macro `AC_GNU_SOURCE' is obsolete. configure.ac:87: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/specific.m4:312: AC_GNU_SOURCE is expanded from... gnulib/m4/gnulib-comp.m4:34: gl_EARLY is expanded from... configure.ac:87: the top level configure.ac:87: warning: The macro `AC_PROG_CC_STDC' is obsolete. configure.ac:87: You should run autoupdate. gnulib/m4/std-gnu11.m4:476: AC_PROG_CC_STDC is expanded from... gnulib/m4/gnulib-common.m4:496: gl_PROG_CC_C99 is expanded from... gnulib/m4/gnulib-comp.m4:34: gl_EARLY is expanded from... configure.ac:87: the top level configure.ac:87: warning: The macro `AC_HELP_STRING' is obsolete. configure.ac:87: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:203: AC_HELP_STRING is expanded from... gnulib/m4/threadlib.m4:384: gl_THREADLIB_EARLY_BODY is expanded from... gnulib/m4/threadlib.m4:377: gl_THREADLIB_EARLY is expanded from... gnulib/m4/gnulib-comp.m4:34: gl_EARLY is expanded from... configure.ac:87: the top level configure.ac:90: warning: The macro `AC_HEADER_STDC' is obsolete. configure.ac:90: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/headers.m4:657: AC_HEADER_STDC is expanded from... gnulib/m4/malloc.m4:9: _AC_FUNC_MALLOC_IF is expanded from... gnulib/m4/eealloc.m4:13: gl_EEMALLOC is expanded from... gnulib/m4/malloca.m4:8: gl_MALLOCA is expanded from... gnulib/m4/gnulib-comp.m4:179: gl_INIT is expanded from... configure.ac:90: the top level configure.ac:90: warning: $as_echo_n is obsolete; use AS_ECHO_N(["message"]) instead gnulib/m4/gnulib-common.m4:654: gl_CACHE_VAL_SILENT is expanded from... gnulib/m4/stdarg.m4:10: gl_STDARG_H is expanded from... gnulib/m4/gnulib-comp.m4:179: gl_INIT is expanded from... configure.ac:90: the top level I had run autoupdate, and fixed some of the warnings, but most of the warnings don't seem to be coming from the configure.ac in the package itself, but from gnulib. I tried updating the gnulib files by running "gnulib-tool --add-import" but this didn't make any difference that I noticed. Is there another way to refresh the gnulib files like "gnulib-common.m4" and so on? I don't know if this is new for this pretest, as I didn't try any of the earlier pretests.
