Hi,
Missing dependency: I imported the 'relocatable-prog' module in an empty project. It lacked the 'alloca' module dependency (although it imported 'alloca-opt'): $ sh bootstrap + autoreconf --install --symlink --warnings=all /usr/share/aclocal/smpeg.m4:13: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_SMPEG run info '(automake)Extending aclocal' or see http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal configure.ac:18: error: missing gnulib/lib/alloca.c gnulib/m4/gnulib-comp.m4:110: gl_LIBSOURCES is expanded from... ../../lib/autoconf/functions.m4:348: AC_FUNC_ALLOCA is expanded from... gnulib/m4/alloca.m4:7: gl_FUNC_ALLOCA is expanded from... gnulib/m4/gnulib-comp.m4:33: gl_INIT is expanded from... configure.ac:18: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 The configure.ac: AC_INIT([GNUlib Test],[1.0],[EMAIL PROTECTED]) AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR(autotools) # For future version of aclocal: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(autotools/macros) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([gnits dist-bzip2 dist-zip]) AC_CONFIG_HEADERS(config.h) # Define $host $host_os $build AC_CANONICAL_HOST # Checks for programs.
