David Reiss commented on THRIFT-844:
------------------------------------
I've found no obvious way of getting the Erlang macros to work with Autoconf
2.59. How do other committers feel about upping our prereq to 2.60? Another
option would be to disable Erlang support if bootstrap.sh is run with an older
autoconf.
> Build Requirements state autoconf 2.59+ is required, but 2.60+ is needed

> Key: THRIFT-844
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-844
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.4, 0.5
> Environment: CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
> Reporter: Harlan Lieberman-Berg
> Attachments: bootstrap.txt
>
>
> Though the [Build
> Requirements|http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ThriftRequirements] state that
> autoconf 2.59+ is required (even though 2.60+ is listed as recommended), and
> the configure.ac has a AC_PREREQ of 2.59, macros which require 2.60+ are
> being used in the configure.ac. This makes building SVN Thrift impossible on
> autoconf 2.59, the latest stable in CentOS 5.5.
> AC_PREREQ and the wiki should be updated to reflect the actual build
> requirements, or the macros which require the later version should be removed.
