CVS, bootstrapping and DJGPP

[Richard Dawe]

Hello.

I've been trying to bootstrap a CVS check-out of libtool and I've hit some
problems. The problems occur when I run the "boostrap" script. I'm using the
DJGPP ports of autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7.2.

Firstly, I keep getting the following message:

configure.ac: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' must be used
automake: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an
automake: old Automake version.  You should recreate aclocal.m4
automake: with aclocal and run automake again.
automake: no `Makefile.am' found or specified

So I ran aclocal and re-ran bootstrap. I got the same error message. I also
tried changing the following in configure.ac:

     AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(AC_PACKAGE_TARNAME, AC_PACKAGE_VERSION)

to have no arguments, []-quoted arguments, etc., but that made no difference.

Has anyone else seen this problem? If not, then it must be a problem with the
DJGPP port of automake 1.7.2.

Secondly, bootstrap doesn't seem to create any Makefile.in files. The line
that runs automake is:

     eval $AUTOMAKE $AUTOMAKE_FLAGS

Shouldn't there be a Makefile name after that? Also, shouldn't the script
create Makefile.in in the top-level directory and doc directories?

Thanks, regards,
