Hi Erez, I have fixed several mistakes in the test suite, so there should be less failures now. There are some I really don't understand, and I need your help (I can't reproduce them). But I would suggest that you pull out a fresh Autoconf. Ooops, btw people, we have to tell you we are moving

The latest automake (off of cvs) doesn't yet handle the AC_CONFIG_FILES()/AC_OUTPUT split. This is only an autoconf warning now, but it means that automake is not user-releasable yet. (Unless you guys want to be bombarded with tons of similar questions.) Automake also doesn't handle the --build

That's good news, Akim. Now, do you have a schedule for when a feature freeze will happen, and when this autoconf will work with automake 1.4a? After these two happen, I'd like to test autoconf on all of my platforms. I do it in two ways: (1) run make test, and (2) use it in my am-utils package

Yep, sorry, this is also an issue to solve. I had used Automake 1.4a which uses AM_MISSING with two args, and an executable missing. When I fell back to 1.4, I forgot to downgrade the use of AM_MISSING. It will be done. Meanwhile, I'd suggest that you AVAILABILITY The latest version
