Subject: [PATCH] bootstrap: check for AC_PROG_LIBTOOL as well as AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
* build-aux/bootstrap: Check for AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, as well as the
obs
A few tools are required to build coreutils from a git checkout, but
not checked in a friendly way. This patch adds checks to bootstrap
and configure.
Oh, and updates automake to 1.10.1, which appears to work.
diff --git a/bootstrap b/bootstrap

% touch foo foo
% cp -u foo foo && echo yes
cp: `foo' and `foo' are the same file
I expected that since -u says
-u, --update
copy only when the SOURCE file is newer than the
destination file or when the destination file is missing
it would not attempt to copy
