#37 Warnings during configure

[Pierre]

Hi

I try to configure qtella-0.6.1 on my GNU/Linux system
and I got these warnings :

# ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install...
/usr/local/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
/tmp/qtella-0.6.1/missing: Unknown `--run' option
Try `/tmp/qtella-0.6.1/missing --help' for more information
configure: WARNING: `missing' script is too old or missing
checking for gawk... gawk
[...]

Maybe isn't it really important but I wanted to report
it...

Regards,

Pierre.

I noticed the same warning in both 0.6.5 and 0.7.0. It is
coming from a check performed in the configure script on a
script called missing. The missing script itself is
commonly used to check for the presence of maintainer tools
on the system, such as autoconf, automake, and bison.

The reason the warning is appearing is because the missing
script included with qtella-0.x.x-tar.gz is an old version,
GNU libit 0.0 to precise. That version does not support the
--run option desired by configure. To correct the problem
you can replace the missing script in the qtella source with
a newer version. I found more recent versions on my system
as a part of automake and libtool.
