I have forwarded this bug upstream as I have no idea how to fix
it myself. If any bug-squashing hunter can help with this bug I would
appreciate it.

Subject: Samhain: Error when building with autoconf 2.59d


Hi Samhain support!

This is the Debian maintainer of Samhain speaking. I wanted to notify you of
a bug recently submitted to the Debian Bug Tracking System: #369503
[1] it seems that samhain cannot be built with the latest autoconf version,
when running autoheader it will not be able to work and spits out this error:

configure.ac:44: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: _AC_LANG
autoconf/lang.m4:157: AC_LANG_POP is expanded from...
autoconf/c.m4:556: AC_PROG_CC is expanded from...
configure.ac:44: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
autoheader: '/usr/bin/autom4te' failed with exit status: 1

The autoconf Debian maintainers have mentioned as an answer to my bug #370123
[2] that this is a problem with samhain's configure.ac using undocumented
internal Autoconf features and that it should be fixed. I'm no autoconf
expert and, consequently, have no clue as to how fix this for Debian so that
samhain can build properly both in my system (with the latest autoconf
version) and the build daemons that automatically build the Debian package
for other (non-i386) architectures.

Could you please look into this issue? I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Javier Fernandez-Sanguino
