Christopher Friedt created THRIFT-5429: ------------------------------------------
Summary: build: autotools: add foreign to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE Key: THRIFT-5429 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5429 Project: Thrift Issue Type: Improvement Components: Build Process Affects Versions: 0.14.1, 0.14.0, 0.13.0, 0.12.0, 0.11.0, 0.10.0, 0.9.3.1, 0.9.3, 0.9.2, 0.9.1, 0.9 Environment: Any platform where autotools is available (so really any platform). I'll create a PR on github - it's a one-liner. Reporter: Christopher Friedt Add `foreign` to `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE()` in `configure.ac` to prevent errors about "missing" files. Autotools projects have historically required these to be present, but they are less critical these days with git repos. ``` Makefile.am: error: required file './NEWS' not found Makefile.am: error: required file './README' not found Makefile.am: error: required file './AUTHORS' not found Makefile.am: error: required file './ChangeLog' not found ``` -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
