I tried another run.

I got an actual version from `automake' I added a line on top that this file should not be changed. > > 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. That's right. I added the file `ax_prog_perl_version.m4' to the `m4' directory and prepared the Makefiles to get it work. > > > RCS file: INSTALL.autotools > > I think this is the wrong file name; I would rather call it > `INSTALL.CVS'.

I got a curious error messaqge from the grog Makefile.sub. In the ionternet it is said that `GNU make' works only correctly when all lines start with a `tab' instead of spaces. I corrected this and the compilation worked without problems. Bernd Warken PS: I do not have time to proceed work until 24 April 2013. If there is still some misbehavior someone else should do it. The `grog' in the CVS works, but it's not 100% ok. Please do not fix it because I created a new version which does not work so far.
