The target version of the tools I'll be using is automake (and > aclocal) 1.8, and autoconf 2.59. For what it is worth, the cvshome.org project has moved to automake 1.9.5 which fixes a fair number of problems. The only one remaining is some problems with bison dependencies even when folks do not use - --enable-maintainer-mode (btw: The CVSHOME are eagerly awaiting automake 1.10 which will have a fix for this problem). The CVS project is also using autoconf 2.59. > My biggest hangup right now is trying to get AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR to > actually set ac_aux_dir in the generated configure file. Is there a good reason not to just use the AC_INIT([GNATS],[version],[bug-gnats@gnu.org],[gnats]) AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(build-aux) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([gnu 1.8 dist-bzip2 no-define]) AC_PREREQ(2.59) to set the ac_aux_dir ? You may also want to move to 1.9.5 as I believe it has a number of nits fixed. > It's not happening, and running autoupdate to update the configure.ac > file isn't running all the way through.
