Hi all,


I want to compile version 1.16 of automake.

On which system?



I run ./configure, which creates the Makefile. I run 'make' which results in 
the following:


automake-1.16: >make
make: Makefile: line 3012: Warning -- FSUM9432 Duplicate entry 
[t/get-sysconf.sh] in target list

That's not GNU make. What version and vendor of make is it? It may mean that automake has regressed, and is no longer outputting makefiles that are portable to your specific make binary. But that's just a warning. Is there an actual failure?

make: Makefile: line 3189: Warning -- FSUM9433 Duplicate entry [lib/ylwrap] in 
prerequisite list
@rm -f ./m4/amversion.m4-t ./m4/amversion.m4
make: Error -- @rm: EDC5129I No such file or directory.
FSUM8226 make: Error code -1

Okay, that's an actual failure, but it's not obvious on what the context is that might have caused it. Is there an earlier version of automake that built on your platform? Does using GNU make instead of your vendor's default make let you get further?
