Hi there,
Running ''buildconf'' from the current 1.4.3 release tarball with a recent
automake installed fails like this:
{{{
% ./buildconf
configure.ac:5: error: 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER': this macro is obsolete.
You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead.
/usr/share/aclocal-1.13/obsolete-err.m4:12: AM_CONFIG_HEADER is expanded
from...
configure.ac:5: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status: 1
configure.ac:19: error: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.13.1,
configure.ac:19: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.ac:19: comes from Automake 1.11.6. You should recreate
configure.ac:19: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
configure.ac:19: warning: The 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro is deprecated, and
will soon be removed.
configure.ac:19: You should use the Autoconf-provided 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P'
macro instead,
configure.ac:19: and use '$(MKDIR_P)' instead of '$(mkdir_p)'in your
Makefile.am files.
