Hi LyX developers,
autoconf 2.50 introduces incompatibilities with the previous versions;
i.e., running ./autogen.sh builds a defective configure (for both -devel
and -1_1_6). Debian Unstable now uses this version.
Two quick fixes:
* config/kde.m4 uses AC_PATH_X_DIRECT and AC_PATH_X_XMKMF, which are now
internal macros and must thus be prepended with `_'. I expect their use
have changed in the later KDE's versions.
* config/lyxinclude.m4: AC_TRY_COMPILER doesn't exist anymore. I wonder if
LYX_PROG_CXX is still needed (AC_PROG_CXX also tries several compilers)?
Or is the ordering significant?
I was about to submit a patch replacing LYX_PROG_CXX with a pair
AC_PROG_CXX / LYX_GXX_FLAGS; but sigc++'s configure doesn't work anymore,
this time seemingly because of bad interfacing with libtool (1.4, BTW).
So
1. Should I try and hunt the problem?
2. Have anybody done it already? Or
3. Am I just plain wrong :-)?
