That seems to lead to: configure.ac:119: error: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.15, configure.ac:119: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE configure.ac:119: comes from Automake 1.12. You should recreate configure.ac:119: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again. configure.ac:119: warning: The 'AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro is deprecated, and its use is discouraged. configure.ac:119: You should use the Autoconf-provided 'AC_PROG_MKDIR_P' macro instead, configure.ac:119: and use '$(MKDIR_P)' instead of '$(mkdir_p)'in your Makefile.am files. configure.ac:39: installing './ar-lib' It works if I just run 'autoreconf -vif'. Is that fine? I have to additionally add autoconf and libtool as inputs for that by the way. The final result would be: (arguments `(#:phases ;; Do this right after unpack because there's a danling symlink to ;; '/usr/local/share/automake-1.12/ar-lib' which causes a "no such ;; file or directory" during shebang patching. (alist-cons-after 'unpack 'autoreconf (lambda* (#:key inputs #:allow-other-keys) (zero? (system* "autoreconf" "-vif"))) %standard-phases))) Taylan
