Hello,
Now I had the same problem with the BK repository thus I had to look at
it.
% make -d
[ ... ]
Considering target file `config.h.in'.
Pruning file `configure.ac'.
Pruning file `aclocal.m4'.
Finished prerequisites of target file `config.h.in'.
Prerequisite `configure.ac' is older than target `config.h.in'.
Prerequisite `aclocal.m4' is newer than target `config.h.in'.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Must remake target `config.h.in'.
cd . && /bin/sh /home/szaka/ntfs/ntfsprogs/missing --run autoheader
configure.ac:24: error: Autoconf version 2.59 or higher is required
configure.ac:24: the top level
autom4te-2.5x: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
autoheader-2.5x: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1
% touch config.h.in
% make
and it works. But that's not the right solution ...
Apparently BK checks out the files with the current timestamp (huh???) so
the time dependencies are lost. Sometimes things are checked out in the
right time order, sometimes they aren't. So sometimes it works this way,
sometimes the other way.
An ./autogen.sh should fix it. However it uses autereconf and maybe the
wrong timestamps confuse the process. Sometimes.
But I don't know, I don't have the bleeding edge SUSE 9.1 beta autotools.
