Correct. The autotools are not guaranteed to be backward-compatible. Therefore, blindly running some arbitrary version of the autotools on an arbitrary source tree often (and very often silently) breaks building. > Even many upstreams do that. This is only possibile in simple cases and if upstreams write proper configurations - Many projects do not. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
