Package: autoconf Version: 2.65-3 Severity: normal Hi,
I followed the advise from libtoolize and added `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.ac and `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am When I now run "autoreconf -vfi" from a fresh git checkout, where the (empty) m4/ directory does not yet exist, I get a failure: autoreconf -vfi autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal --force -I m4 aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 I suggest that either autoreconf or aclocal should create that directory, before any of the tools tries to copy it's macro files there. If you rather think this is a bug in aclocal (I use automake 1.11), feel free to reassign.
