The gnome-autogen.sh which is called from autogen.sh comes from the gnome-common module and is rather stupid. It is written in such a way that it needs to be updated if there is a new automake. It checks for each specific version individually, down from 1.12 as you can see. Strange enough it manages to be more flexible for other autotools. I ran into that problem in some other context, and it was very annoying. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- The Doctor: No, 'eureka' is Greek for \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- 'this bath is too hot.' _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
