Quoting from there:
* Include Debian patchset 2.67-2
Ouch! On my Debian box, I had to build my own autoconf 2.67 from sources
to use with automake, since at least this chunk of the debian patch:
--- autoconf-2.67.orig/lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4
+++ autoconf-2.67/lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4
@@ -843,7 +843,7 @@
[m4_append_uniq([_AS_CLEANUP],
[m4_divert_text([M4SH-INIT-FN], [_AS_ERROR_PREPARE[]])])],
[as_fn_error m4_default([$2], [$?])
"_AS_QUOTE([$1])"m4_ifval(AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD,
- [ "$LINENO" AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD])])
+ [ "$LINENO" AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD ])])
introduces spurious differences in the generated configure (yay
for them).
So it seems like Peter will have to build his own autoconf 2.67 by
hand after all :-(
That considered: Peter, do you now think it's ok to apply my patch?
Regards,
Stefano
