Michael, I run into this problem often and it usually just because someone embedded automake-1.7 or aclocal-1.6 or whatnot in a script, usually autogen.sh or whatnot. And out of curiousity why aren't you using the provided autogen.sh and letting it handle this? If you are it might just work to change automake-1.7 to automake-1.9 ir just automake and rerum the script. -sb On Thu, 2004-08-05 at 11:55 +0200, M.Clasen wrote: > hi ppl, > > i like to recompile the gtk+ package from the gnome cvs. > > while calling ./autoconf, there comes an error, autoconfs depends > automake-1.7. > > i got the sources for automake 1.9, rebuild it fine and tryed again, > but the autoconf script of gtk+ likes only automake 1.7. > > i tryed to edit the autoconf script, but i go on thin ice there and got > other errors underlaying my missediting of the gtk+ cvs autoconf script. > > how can i compile the gtk+ cvs sources, what must i do here ? > > must i downgrade automake to 1.7 ?? > > regardz > > Michael > > -- > Webmaster, Systemtechnik/Administration > E-Mail: webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > On Web: www.hg-carstyling.de > Fackenburger Allee 55a > 23554 Lübeck / Germany > Tel.: +49(0)451-4505952 > Fax.: +49(0)451-4505954 > > > -- Stan Bubrouski <stan@xxxxxxxxxxx>
