Hi, I was hoping to create a src tree which would build automake1.9 and autoconf2.61 and install them in a central place. Writing a configure.ac for this is quite hard if not impossible. The automake expects and depends on that the directory where its untarred should be called automake-1.9, which makes writing the Makefile.am dependent on the version and would some unrequired maintenance of configure.ac/Makefile.am.
Moreover automake1.9 is dependent on autoconf2.58+ to be present in the path that I cant have them in the same sandbox at all !!! I need to install autoconf first and then try configuring automake. That doesnt seem right. Any suggestions, on whether/how this can be managed ? kamaljit --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
