Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in' files compliant with the GNU Coding Standards. This package contains the latest version of the automake system in the automake-1.8.x series, automake-1.8.5.
This cygwin package, automake1.8, can be installed without conflict alongside the existing automake1.10, automake1.9, automake1.7, automake1.6, automake1.5, and automake1.4 cygwin packages. This release is a packaging update of the automake1.8 package. This will most likely be the final automake1.8 update for the cygwin-1.5 distribution; future development will continue with automake1.8-1.8.5-10 for cygwin-1.7. Changes (automake1.8-1.8.5-3 ---> automake1.8-1.8.5-4) * Update packaging to use stock cygport-0.4.0 * Fix setup.hint * Import fixes from gentoo so that tests pass, when this version of automake is used with autoconf-2.6x or with newer versions of gettext. * Ensure distcheck passes when using libtool-2.2 and the LT_OUTPUT macro appears in configure.ac. * Ensure /usr/share/aclocal directory is preserved * Also added info file to alternatives set (as is done in automake1.9 and automake1.10 already) Testsuite results: ===================================== 2 of 512 tests failed (18 tests were not run) ===================================== FAIL: ltlibsrc.test, subobj9.test These tests require that they be run as root (Administrator), which I didn't. -- Charles Wilson volunteer automake maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
