Does this happen on later version of automake as well?
My current tests was on an updated Fedora 23.

When did > it make a come back? I dunno if it's deprecated, but I remember reading yesterday it shouldn't be needed since 1.13 (IIRC). But as we need to ensure OpenVPN can be fully built on RHEL5 (which is the oldest supported distribution we officially support). And RHEL5 ships with automake-1.9 . A related discussion we of course can make is if we will change our build support policy slightly. Currently we support building from git on RHEL5 (hence autoreconf is needed to be run). But we could change our policy to only support building on RHEL5 using tarballs (greated by 'make dist' and related variants). In this case, autotools doesn't even need to be installed (with the exception of libtool, iirc) ... but that's a discussion outside this mail-thread, though. - -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Technologies, Inc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAletnZUACgkQDC186MBRfrqt3wCfT+fo+9haooMUHZ2MUxlekWeY ex8AnRcCNQey/fEbTakJSbrgUqzeULP2 =bN9r -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
