Hey, look at the scipt. The script does now:
# Autogenerate lib/configure.m4.
if test x$GNUM4 != x ; then
echo -n "Building lib/configure ... "
rm -f lib/configure
$GNUM4 lib/configure.m4 > lib/configure
chmod a+x lib/configure
echo "done."
else
echo "No GNU m4. Impossible to build lib/configure -- aborting"
exit
fi
So if GNUM4 is not set, you get:
-------------
Locating GNU m4... not found.
[...]
No GNU m4. Impossible to build lib/configure -- aborting
----------------
and the script exits, leaving an incomplete result of autogen.sh!
May patch exits at the very moment when GNUM4 appears to be not set.
It also replaces the if-statement above, since you're then sure
the GNUM4 is set!
All this is okay, since there's no way to configure/make properly
without doing the then-clause above.
Rob.
