Hi Bruno,
I don't understand what's happening in the 'aclocal' program.
Me either. Sorry to be such a failure as a maintainer, but it's not
like I've ever looked at that program, or could do so any better than
you. Any chance you could check into it and maybe find a patch for the
undesired/incorrect warning?
"- The special make variable ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS is deprecated; future
Automake versions will warn about its use, and later version will
remove support for it altogether."
FWIW, I personally have no intention of ever warning, let alone
removing, ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS. Doing so would cause endless trouble with
little benefit, as far as I can see. Not that I control anything, but
since that message has been there for 10+ years and nothing has been
done, I guess whatever problems it was seen to cause are not
insurmountable. I changed the wording in NEWS to be closer to the
wording in NEWS-2.0, which talks about a warning, but not removing. (2.0
itself is fully mythical, as far as I know.) --thanks, karl.
