Hi, The new automake 1.9 breaks several packages. find-utils was the first one I ran into. You get messages like this: Remember to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' to `configure.in'. Using `AC_PROG_RANLIB' is rendered obsolete by 'AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' This is easily fixed by using AC_PROG_LIBTOOL instead of AC_PROG_RANLIB. But then you find that the scripts generated by automake 1.9 are much stricted. You get stuff like this next: locate/testsuite/Makefile.am:16: required directory locate/testsuite/inputs does not exist The easy fix is to delete that directory from the Makefile.am in locate/testsuite. The next package with breakage is shadow-utils. You get a message like this: libtool: unrecognized option `--tag=CC' Try `libtool --help' for more information. That message comes from ./libtool in the shadow-utils build directory. This file is generated from configure. But in it I find: # The names of the tagged configurations supported by this script. available_tags=" CXX F77" It never detected CC. I really think this will be a big push up to convert things over to the new automake. I will put the findutils patch in bugzilla. -Steve Grubb __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
