Minor configure.in Change
Posted: 04.11.2003, 02:34
Some systems ( like my Gentoo Linux ) have multiple instances of Autoconf installed for compatability reasons, and they use a script to determine which version needs to be run for a given project. For Gentoo, this script looks for:
Since none of these conditions exsist in Celestia's CVS, trying to 'make -f Makefile.cvs' brings up the wrong version of Autoconf, and it won't run.
May I suggest that we alter 'configure.in' to contain the following line:
Thanks.
Code: Select all
# - defaults to autoconf-2.13
# - runs autoconf-2.57 if it exists and...
# - envvar WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 is set to `1'
# -or-
# - configure.ac is present
# -or-
# - `configure.in' contains AC_PREREQ and the value's 3 first letters
# are stringwise greater than '2.1'
# -or-
# - `configure' is already present and was generated by autoconf greater than
# '2.1'
# -or-
# - `Makefile.in' was generated by automake-1.6 or superior, which
# specifically needs autoconf-2.57
