There is a potential pitfall when grabbing autoconf via CVS from the git repository which is that VERSION is computed by build-aux/git-version-gen which runs git describe. If you checked out via CVS, git rightly complains that the checkout isn't a git repository. VERSION is then UNKNOWN, rather than say 2.61a.265-feef9-dirty. m4_version_prereq([2.57]) eg in local.at then fails.
% bin/autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) UNKNOWN Cheers, Patrick _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
