Conditionals first appeared in version 1.2 from 1997, and else/endif in 1.5 from 2001. However, several features need special handling for being able to appear within a conditional, and for some, that has only been added rather recently (or not yet at all, such as texinfo outputs). > - I have 2 > machines with the same source code, 1 has an older version of automake, and > it's failing to build at the if/else statement. Easiest to say if you state both versions used, and post the Makefile.am snippet that fails, or a small reproducible example. Cheers, Ralf
