Anthony Molinaro commented on THRIFT-844:
-----------------------------------------
Well, AC_ERLANG_PATH_ERL and AC_ERLANG_PATH_ERLC could be done with
AC_PATH_PROG, right?
AC_ERLANG_SUBST_INSTALL_LIB_SUBDIR seems to just trying to figure out the
correct place to install, framewerk does this by calling out to erlang and
asking it where it should install things

It's sort of ugly, but works with autoconf 2.59 and greater. Anyway, I'm sure
these sort of tricks won't convince you to get things working with 2.59, but
figured I'd put them out there as alternatives.
> 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.
