Bernd,
this is still not OK. > RCS file: /cvsroot/groff/groff/INSTALL.gen,v > retrieving revision 1.7 > retrieving revision 1.8 > diff -u -b -r1.7 -r1.8 *Never* change this file manually! It is a generic one provided from GNU (normally called `INSTALL'). Please restore it (or get the newest version from the `gnulib' or `automake' git repository). > RCS file: /cvsroot/groff/groff/aclocal.m4,v > [...] > +# =========================================================================== > +# http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_prog_perl_version.html > +# =========================================================================== > [...] As told earlier, such stuff shouldn't be in this file; there should only be lines of the form m4_include([m4/foo.m4]) The reason for this problem is that you are using the macro AX_PROG_PERL_VERSION (in `groff.m4') without adding the file `ax_prog_perl_version.m4' to the repository. > RCS file: INSTALL.autotools I think this is the wrong file name; I would rather call it `INSTALL.CVS'. And it makes only sense to have it in case the `configure' script and all other generated files are removed from the CVS. Two other minor issues: . file `groff.m4': @@ -134,6 +148,7 @@ AC_MSG_WARN([missing program$plural: The program$plural + $missing cannot be found in the PATH. Consequently, groff's HTML backend (grohtml) will not work properly; Why the additional newline? If you do so, I would rather expect to have another one after the `$missing' line also. . file `Makefile.in': All variables which are defined globally should be added to the `MDEFINES' definition. You haven't done so for `PERLVERSION'. Werner
