Which change requires a newer Automake? I have 1.11, and I've just reconfigured and rebuilt the latest trunk with no problems I could spot. Can you show the details of your failure? > These changes broke the build for me on mingw, as my mingw installation > only has automake 1.11 (I have not yet investigated newer versions). > > If the minimum toolchain required has been changed, please make this > change more visible. Indeed. Moreover, please don't require different versions for the trunk and the branch, as it's a nuisance to have more than a single version installed. Also, nt/INSTALL and/or the packaged Autotools it points to need to be updated once we upgrade to some newer version, so please explicitly announce that here.
