Thanks, it worked. The only documentation I found is
`Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4'
create Autoconf executable configure scripts without
reading `aclocal.m4'.
And the thread from Bruno Haible:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-automake/2003/msg00446.html
Sorry if I overlooked something, but for people who only need
the tools, the new required lines may become a FAQ.
I learned the others from the Autoconf info page, but there's
still nothing at
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/autoconf/autoconf/doc/autoconf.texi
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/automake/doc/automake.texi?cvsroot=automake
So, I guess
"I think we should either change the Autoconf documentation
(adding --no-cache to Autoconf-without-aclocal-m4 ought to be
enough, right?),"
(from
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-automake/2003/msg00453.html)
or something in the "Customizing `autom4te' " section is the
right thing to do.
