From grdetil@scrc.umanitoba.ca Thu Nov 30 15:36:08 2000 Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2000 17:19:35 -0600 (CST) From: Gilles Detillieux To: "ht://Dig developers list" Subject: [htdig3-dev] bug in automake-1.4 on Red Hat 6.1, maybe others Hi, gang! I discovered that there is a problem with automake version 1.4 on Red Hat 6.1, and possibly on other systems where it was built from an unpatched automake-1.4.tar.gz. Red Hat 6.2 and above correct the problem, but Red Hat didn't issue an update RPM for 6.1. You can install the RPM from the 6.2 distribution, or you can apply this patch to correct the problem: --- /usr/bin/automake.copytosourcedir Sat Aug 21 14:46:42 1999 +++ /usr/bin/automake Thu Nov 30 16:22:32 2000 @@ -2367,7 +2367,7 @@ sub handle_dist_worker $output_rules .= "\t d=\$(srcdir); \\\n"; } $output_rules .= ("\t if test -d \$\$d/\$\$file; then \\\n" - .

By the way, what options are we supposed to give automake to generate the Makefile.in files? I seem to get different results all the time, even apart from the bug. -- Gilles R.
