Please name the tests; I don't think my test 28 (DESTDIR with in-package deplibs) is your test 28. Is it `Support for older m4 interface.' Then please try dropping --force, similar for your test 29 which should then fail, too. > Tests 46, 47 and 48 fail because autoconf-2.52 does not have > AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR: > "./configure: line 894: syntax error near unexpected token > `LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR(ltdl,'" > > Tests 05,29,30,31,39,40,41,43,44,45,46,47,48,52 and 53 fail because > "aclocal: macro `_LT_CHECK_BUILDDIR' required but not defined" > Looks like _LT_CHECK_BUILDDIR is m4_defun'ed but AC_REQUIRED. That's a bug, thanks for catching. Does it work if _LT_CHECK_BUILDDIR is only m4_require'd? I assume if that's fixed, there will still be more issues. > Should we skip 28,46,47 and 48 if autoconf is too old, and m4_require > _LT_CHECK_BUILDDIR? The "older m4 interface" tests should not be skipped. I would not be surprised if the nonrecursive libltdl tests required a newer Automake, and am not sure about the recursive libltdl ones, but again, I'm not even sure which ones you see failing.
