I guess we can simply remove the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS line from Makefile.am, since autogen.sh calls aclocal --install. Correct? (This works for me.) libtoolize complains about it: libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. But I guess libtoolize is wrong. > Probably also makes sense to update > > https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/ModernAutotools > > which is a separate, though related, goal. We should also remove mention of AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED([APPDATA_XML]) since APPDATA_XML is obsoleted by APPSTREAM_XML. I guess aclocal --install and autoreconf --install are redundant, and we just need to run aclocal first because we run glib-gettextize, intltoolize, and gtkdocize before autoreconf? Moving autoreconf to the top of the allows me to drop use of aclocal from my autogen.sh: set -x autoreconf --verbose --force --install -Wno-portability || exit 1 glib-gettextize --force --copy || exit 1 intltoolize --force --copy --automake || exit 1 set +x This works with epiphany's build system (though it doesn't use gtkdocize). I also suspect it's wrong to use both glib-gettextize and intltoolize in autogen.sh, but I don't pretend to understand these tools....
