[Cooker] Specific autoconf version required for building mozilla and byacc from SRPM.

2003-03-14 Thread AAW
It appears mozilla only rebuilds from SRPM with autoconf 2.13. Using 2.5 I get 
the following message (on mozilla-1.3-1mdk.src.rpm and the two previous 
versions):

--SNIP---
Patch #47 (mozilla-1.1-spellcheckerinclude.patch.bz2):
+ /usr/bin/bzip2 -d
+ patch -p1 -b --suffix .spellcheckinclude -s
+ autoconf
build/autoconf/altoptions.m4:140: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: 
_m4_divert_diversion
build/autoconf/altoptions.m4:137: MOZ_READ_MOZCONFIG is expanded from...
build/autoconf/altoptions.m4:140: the top level
autom4te-2.5x: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1

byacc-1.9-13mdk.src.rpm is also affected by this (problem command is 
autoheader).

Given the few people who rebuild from SRPM and that autoconf 2.13 is 
Mandrake's default choice, is it even worth a formal bug report suggesting a 
change to the spec file?

PS-I'm rebuilding for 9.0, but I don't think it should affect the underlying 
issue.

With, according to the spec file. I haven't modified it.

 Nope. How could you come by using autoconf2.5 for building SRPMs?
 Especially if autoconf 2.5 requires autoconf 2.13 and that generally the
 right autoconf script is used, or 2.13 by default?

I had WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 set. Why? I have absolutely no idea.
