I use homebrew on macOS Sonoma 14.5. This package system installed the version 1.17 automake (I use a binary package but the source one refers to this metadata: desc "Tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles" homepage "https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/"; url "https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.17.tar.xz"; mirror "https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake/automake-1.17.tar.xz"; sha256 "8920c1fc411e13b90bf704ef9db6f29d540e76d232cb3b2c9f4dc4cc599bd990" license "GPL-2.0-or-later"
My problem is simple: configure generated by autoreconf includes this line: AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY=0ac_config_headers="$ac_config_headers config.h" i.e. the last macro generating AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY setting misses to add a newline after its expansion. I can propose an easy patch which fixes the problem for me: at the end of the silent.m4 file (m4 directory in sources but installed at another location my homebrew add a newline in the AM_SILENT_RULES macro setting AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY: --- /usr/local/Cellar/automake/1.17/share/aclocal-1.17/silent.m4-orig-nl 2024-07-12 07:21:44 +++ /usr/local/Cellar/automake/1.17/share/aclocal-1.17/silent.m4 2024-07-23 07:40:50 @@ -68,4 +68,5 @@ # empty being verbose).
