Hi, With the release of automake-1.8 ahead, a request for enhancement:
automake-1.8 probably will be incompatible to automake-1.7 Up to now I have encountered 2 incompatiblities: * The generating info files in $srcdir issue. * aclocal complaining about underquoting in custom macros. Therefore the "usual" request that comes up with each major version change of automake: Can we have a means to restrict a package to a particular version of automake or to enforce using a particular version automake? I don't know how to implement it, but something similar to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([automake < 1.8]) or AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([automake = 1.7]) come to my mind. Ralf
