Well, this is still turning out to be a bust, even using Sage's
autotools package. I'm trying to reconfigure CDDLIB and its
configure.in is not compatible in many ways with the versions of the
tools it wants to use. For example, its Makefile.in says it was
generated by automake 1.10.3, so it's trying to use automake 1.10.3
(along the same lines, it's using autoconf 2.63 and libtool 2.2.6b)
Even if I take the existing source package, without any of my own
changes (but with the patches in the spkg), when I naively try to run
autoreconf I get:
$ autoreconf -v -f -i
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext

autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
The bare minimum I had to do to make it work was to add
AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])
to the configure.in, re-ran libtoolize, and then
$ AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.14.1 AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.65 autoreconf -fiv
This at least resulted in a seemingly working configure and Makefile.
But all the generated files are now significantly updated.
IIUC we're basically the only ones maintaining CDDLIB anyways, so
should I just build a new upstream package for it with my fixes?
Thanks,
Erik
