Which autoconf/automake versions are expected? I am using fairly
recent versions due to other projects needing them, and would like
to know which older versions to custom install. The build system
gives me a bunch of errors when running
autoreconf --install --include=m4
which seem potentially related to changed semantics.
Also, the file VERSION contains 1.5.14; is this still used for
anything?
Make sure you have moved to the "default" branch of the
repository: hg update -C default
You shouldn't need to install older versions of the auto* tools.
The goal is to make them work with the most recent versions, while
not using features that make older systems which are still
supported break (e.g. RHEL/CentOS 5). If you find that the build
breaks with newer auto* tools, please file a bug report.
