That's good. I'm still back on 1.7.9 on a couple systems but 1.8.3 or
.4 on a couple others.

That's good.

Do you have GLIB1? Not having libglib-1.2.10 should be ok but reducing
the number of non-warning errors is a good thing ;)

Well, that's only for the *1st* time _or_ if configure.in has changed.
Once you have run autogen.sh you can get by with simply ./configure
unless the autoconf files change.
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-large-file --with-quicktime=no
processing .
Running libtoolize...
Running aclocal ...
Ignore all the 'underquoted' warnings - I get those too with automake
1.8.x but not with 1.7.9
aclocal: configure.in: 167: macro `AM_PATH_GLIB' not found in library
Ah - but there is non-warning error. Hopefully not fatal - but it
might be. If you can get GTK1 and GLIB1 installed that'd be great.
Running autoheader...
autoheader: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found in configure.in
Hmm, autoheader is part of 'autoconf'. I have tested with
autoconf 2.57 and 2.59 and neither one of those complains about
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS. What version of autoconf are you using? If there
is more than one version of autoconf present then the wrong (older)
one is being invoked somehow. AC_CONFIG_HEADERS was replaced by
AM_CONFIG_HEADER some time ago.
Running automake --gnu ...
configure.in: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
configure.in: You should verify that configure.in invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
Which is bogus - if you look at configure.in you will see that line
11 is indeed "AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(mjpegtools, $MJPEG_VERSION)".
Ignore the remaining errors - they're simply a cascade of errors because
autoconf didn't accept the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE entry in configure.in
Running autoconf ...

./configure: line 1618: syntax error near unexpected token `mjpegtools,'
./configure: line 1618: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(mjpegtools, $MJPEG_VERSION)'
So the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE line was passed _thru_ into configure rather
than being _expanded_.
The errors look very verbose but only the first non-warning errors
are relevant - thing to try and do is get rid of the AM_PATH_GLIB,
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, and get AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE recognized and expanded.
Exactly how to do that is going to be a bit of trial and error. See
if you can get GLIB1 as a first step - get rid of the errors one at
a time.
Good Luck!
