To be fair: this syntax is depreciated since Autoconf 2.50. The current `official' syntax is the following: AC_INIT(libXrc, 0.1, libxrc-bugs@somewhere) .. AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(libXrc, 0.1) Autoconf needs these informations to generate propers banners in configure/config.status, autotest test-suites etc. Yes, there is some duplication here. That's why Automake is droping its arguments and instead try to get these pieces of information from Autoconf. [...] -- Alexandre Duret-Lutz
