Actually, I tend to prefer the use of AM_MAINTAINER_MODE because I check configure scripts into CVS which will be run on many different machines, many of which would fail to remake any of the autoconf/automake because of extremely old versions of these. I guess one could avoid this by including autoconf/automake/etc and dependencies. Anwyay, just mentioning this because it may not always be a bad idea, just one that could cause problems if used in the wrong way. -Anthony On Thu, Jan 22, 2004 at 05:25:33PM -0800, Michael Radford wrote: > Ah, well of course, one way to avoid this problem is to not cut and > paste AM_MAINTAINER_MODE into your configure.ac in the first place, so > the automatic re-automake/autoconf rules are generated by default. :) > > So never mind....
