I am using automake-1.5 and one of the open source library I am trying to build use automake for its build. However, the configure seems to generate a malformed Makefile which failed to build with message:
> configure .... > make -f Makefile ... Makefile:383: *** missing separator. Stop. THe Makefile around line 383 contains non-processed automake stuff: 380 - distclean-compile: 381 - -rm -f *.tab.c 382 - 383 - @AMDEP_TRUE@@am__include@ @am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/SQLAllocHandle.Plo@am__quote@ 384 - @AMDEP_TRUE@@am__include@ @am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/SQLBindCol.Plo@am__quote@ 385 - @AMDEP_TRUE@@am__include@ @am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/SQLBindParameter.Plo@am__quote@ 386 - @AMDEP_TRUE@@am__include@ @am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/SQLBrowseConnect.Plo@am__quote@ What might be the problem of this? Where should I begin to troubleshoot? Any help will be appreciated. Note: I can not upgrade to version 1.6 because I have another library the does not work with autoconf 2.52 which is required by automake 1.6.
