Version: 1.11.1 (ubuntu 10.10). I have inspected the most recent master and it appears to also have this bug.
configure.ac: AC_INIT([a], [b], [c]) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign]) dnl no LT_INIT -- on purpose AC_PROG_CC AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile]) AC_OUTPUT Makefile.am: lib_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la Run autoreconf -i: $ autoreconf -i Makefile.am:1: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined Makefile.am:1: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' Makefile.am:1: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again. Makefile.am:1: If `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' is in `configure.ac', make sure Makefile.am:1: its definition is in aclocal's search path. autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 See the libtool manual ( http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/LT_005fINIT.html ): AC_PROG_LIBTOOL and AM_PROG_LIBTOOL are deprecated names for older versions of this macro; autoupdate will upgrade your configure.ac files. It appears that automake's message is out of date. -- Jack
