That probably makes sense - at some point all the Makefile.in's were removed since they are generated by automake - unclear why things generated by aclocal or libtool should be in the repository (and I have to admit that I get the problem of running autogen.sh on my system and those files being changed, despite the fact that I haven't made any changes, and svn wants to cmmit those files). That doesn't really help the issue of incompatible changes - my only thought there would be any time those files do get changed, perhaps note in the file or changelog what version of the tools were used, eg: update configure.ac for .., tested with autoconf 2.63, automake 1.10, libtool ... (and so on) That doesn't necessarily fix the problem, but perhaps at least makes it a little easier to figure out cause after the fact - if I see my versions are very old, I might be able to make a guess that is the cause vs something just broken in the file itself. _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
