support for old tools?

Post by gandalf »

Are old tools going to be supported?

On my debian stable Linux box, I get
aclocal.m4:39: error: Autoconf version 2.54 or higher is required

when running make.

This is on the latest and greatest CVS code.
I have autoconf 2.50 :-(

Old Makefiles can be found under 'utils/' but they are not up to date. Autoconf in Debian Stable (Woody) is currently 2.53 (that is still 0.01 below needed).

This limitation is set but aclocal itself. Remove aclocal.m4 and run aclocal-1.7 and try again.

I believe you should install newer autotool packages in your box using backports, i.e. those from Adrian Bunk : http://prometheus.psico.unimib.it/debian/

Then you should have all required building tools.

I've added a new file to CVS called autogen.sh. Just run it before running configure and make shouldn't require any of the autotools now.
