As you might now i'm working on the icap-2_5 branch of the CVS; i have a little question regarding auto* tools and their versions:
$ ./bootstrap.sh WARNING: Cannot find automake version 1.5 Trying automake (GNU automake) 1.7.9 WARNING: Cannot find autoconf version 2.13 Trying autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59 autoheader2.50: WARNING:
Squid-2.5 is built using automake 1.5 + the fixconditionals patch and autoconf 2.13, no other versions of the autotools.
What are the guidelines regarding these tools ? Should i try to bring the configuration scripts to match recent version of those tools (like am/1.7.9 and ac/2.59 here) ?
This is not done within the Squid-2.5 release, but what you do within the ICAP branch is basically up to you and the other maintainers of the ICAP patch. It may be confusing to users however if they need different versions of the autotools for Squid-2.5+icap than Squid-2.5 so I recommend sticking to the versions used by Squid-2.5.
The fixconditionals patch is found here:
