Hi All,
Due to some versioning conflict, I get a build error with AM_PROG_AR. It
appears when using m4_pattern_allow or m4_ifdef makes it possible to get
the job done nonetheless.
The commit sha1 I have been building is:
8f63b9b670899c9a1a6e017e8979614a9b4b649b
The relevant autotools versions are:
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68
The problem reported on the console is:
configure.ac:67: warning: macro `AM_PROG_AR' not found in library
autoreconf: configure.ac: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is used, but not
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION
configure.ac:67: warning: macro `AM_PROG_AR' not found in library
configure.ac:67: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_AR
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
The problem about AM_GNU_GETTEXT is not breaking. A bit neatness here
perhaps wanted?
My patch to fight the main problem is attached.
