Re: [mdb-dev] cvs version trouble + seg faults in 0.5

[<br...@br...>]

Unfortunately I suck at autoconf, it's a miracle the thing works at
all.  I found this on the debian lists:

http://keithp.com/pipermail/nickle/2003-July/000266.html

which says AC_CONFIG_FILES requires autoconf 2.52 or above or exactly
this problem happens.  Unfortuately, we need AC_CONFIG_FILES instead
of AC_OUTPUT because of the conditional compile of odbc, sql engine,
gui, etc....If somebody has another way to do it, I'm open.

PS sourceforge appears to be having problems with CVS.
