I don't pretend to undestand autotools!
I don't think its necessary. I just did some playing around with this and found, as noted before, that straight out of the tarball ./configure fails. With experimentation, I found that I only needed to run automake -acf Then I got: configure.in:4: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an configure.in:4: old Automake version. You should recreate aclocal.m4 configure.in:4: with aclocal and run automake again. configure.in: installing `./install-sh' configure.in: installing `./missing' Which sets up install-sh. I also noted that the source file on RH is dated 2001. An alternative way to set this up would be to fix the install.sh issue, run configure and then fix doc/man/Makefile. My conclusion after all this is we should just leave the instructions we have alone. They work. I don't see any reasonable simplification. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
