No. automake versions are not compatible.
Simply changing the requirements is not an option.


Thanks... My attempt at a quick hack (simply replacing "1.7" with "1.9" for
the version) seemingly could compile gtk, but the make install step failed.

I'm not familiar with the details of automake, but I infer it must have had
some incompatible changes somewhere between 1.7 and 1.9.

Ideally the gtk build could be done with the current version of automake
(apparently they're up to v1.10 now), but I could certainly see where that
might not be too high a priority. It's only a problem if you want to build
project X which requires v1.7 and project Y which requires a newer version -
then you either need to keep multiple automake versions, or you have to
reinstall automake to build one of the projects. How do the gtk+ developers
handle this now ?

Regards,

Geoff
