This is Slackware 8. automake 1.4-p4, autoconf 2.50. I can download newer
versions and compile them from source if I have to (or download premade
packages from linuxmafia.com if they exist).

# This particular error is that automake 2.5 needs [] around that kind of
# variable, so you go to that line and wrap AM_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T with []
# of course next time you generate aclocal.m4 it will be broken again.

That shut it up and ./configure exists now...

# Compiling xine under debian is close to very difficult right now.

Apart from that, I've had no problems with Slackware. Oh, wait... err this
happened when I ran configure:

"i686-pc-linux-gnu is not currently supported by xine"

Help :-)... I'm going to bed.

# I have to do some perl magic to fix Makefiles, comment out parts
# of the build scripts, hand edit configure.in, etc.

do you get weird things like the above error?

# It ain't pretty.

Is this Xine, or broken auto* tools?
