Anthony Molinaro commented on THRIFT-649:
-----------------------------------------
I've been running thrift built with 2.59 for 6 months in production and have
seen no real issues, what sort of breakage are you talking about? I can most
likely get it fixed, I've lots of experience with autoconf and the other tools.
2.59 is still the autoconf on many systems out there.
Basically with 2.6x two directories are created in your Makefile.in
automatically
datarootdir = ${prefix}/share
and
docdir = ${datarootdir}/doc/${PACKAGE_TARNAME}
These are both used to install the javadocs, so just adding them to the
Makefile.am allows this to work with both 2.59 an 2.6x.
> Java documentation is installed in the wrong place when using autoconf 2.59

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Library (Java)
> Affects Versions: 0.2
> Environment: Centos 5.3
> Reporter: Anthony Molinaro
> Attachments: java.patch

>
> When creating rpms for centos, I noticed the java docs were being installed
> in /java instead of /usr/share/java. This turns out to be a difference
> between autoconf 2.59 and 2.6x. Since 2.60 is not available for Centos 5.x,
> I fixed this by adding a few paths in lib/java/Makefile.am. This patch works
> on Centos5.x and Mac OX 10.6.2 (which used autoconf 2.64).
