[Cppunit-devel] autoconf version

[Volker B. <boe...@we...>]

Hi,

I tried to build the recent CVS version of cppunit and ran into some
problems due to the autoconf version requirement in autogen.sh
(btw. autogen is not mentioned in the docs)

  $ ./autogen.sh 
  Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `config'.
  FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script
  automake: configure.in: installing `config/install-sh'
  automake: configure.in: installing `config/mkinstalldirs'
  automake: configure.in: installing `config/missing'
  configure.in: 41: required file `config/config.h.in' not found
  FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script
  $ autoconf --version
  Autoconf version 2.13

Then i searched for a newer version but on
  http://sources.redhat.com/autoconf/
it's stated that the current version of Autoconf actually is 2.13.

Any clue? I guess you're using some development version of
autoconf. If you need some special macro it's probably better to
include it into cppunit for some time until the newer autoconf has
made it into at least some linux distributions (just for convenience
:-).

Curious about the "new" cppunit...

I've checked-in README.CVS to alleviate this.

Oops.  autoconf shouldn't run if automake already failed.
I changed autogen.sh to fix this.
