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. -- http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html
