hello-2.10 wants RANLIB but Changelog says RANLIB removed in 2006


From: JG Morse
Subject: hello-2.10 wants RANLIB but Changelog says RANLIB removed in 2006
Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2020 02:47:01 +0000 (UTC)

Hello,I am trying to learn GNU autotools from the GNU tarball for 
hello-2.10.When I run automake it wants me to run aclocal because my automake 
is 1.15 and the tarball configs are 1.14.So I do that and re-run automakeNow it 
says that RANLIB is undefined and I should modify config.ac to define RANLIBBut 
it does not say what RANLIB is for, or what it should be defined as.
The Changelog file says that RANLIB was added in 1997, and removed in 1998, and 
there is an entry from 2006 saying RANLIB is not needed.
This seem like some sort of a bug.While I am waiting for a fix  could you tell 
me what I should do next?
Thank you,Greg Morse---------------------------------------- Output
