$ ./configure --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=no
--with-tiff=no --with-ns
./configure: line 2537: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: command not found
This is with latest git emacs from git://repo.or.cz/emacs.git on OSX.
I don't know if it's relevant, but autoconf is version 2.68.
What should I check for next?
Thanks.

Could be you just need up-to-date versions of autoconf (2.68) and
maybe also automake (1.11)...

As I wrote, autoconf is at 2.68. :)
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

See whether 'make clean', 'make mostlyclean', 'make distclean' solve
the situation!
Update (bzr pull -v) and try again!
For me, on Mac OS X 10.5.8/PPC, last updated 12 h ago, configuration
for the NS variant works with MacPorts installed and quite up-to-date.

All three of those commands produce the same error.

Is it OK to use the git version?
git pull -v.
This time the remote connection hung up unexpectedly. So I deleted
all files and directories, checked out head, and ran ./configure.
Does not exist.
Here I am stuck.
I am unfamiliar with these tools. Just in case, I ran autoconf,
because INSTALL said it makes configure. It does not recommend
bypassing configure: "CONFIGURATION BY HAND ... This should not be
necessary and is not recommended."
Similar error.
Ran autoconf again. No error this time.
Ran ./configure
Same error.
Of course all this last stuff is me not knowing what I am doing with
these tools, not me saying they should work.

I don't know! In my assumption the GIT repository is a bit unofficial...

In which tool are you running git and configure? Emacs? In compilation-
mode? Is PATH set correctly that the up-to-date tools are found? (In a
shell 'echo $PATH ; which autoconf automake' will work, in a
*compilation* buffer the same as compile command works as well.)

I am also kind of a newbie with these tools. OTOH, I am pretty sure
that one does not need to know how these tools work and how and why
they get invoked. Usually the configure script and make/Makefile know
exactly what they need to do. My assumption is that two things can be
wrong: your environment (PATH value, tools, their versions) or the
source. The latter gets healed automatically... Waiting one or two
(more) days should help. (Otherwise you could send an eMail to the
address given when you select 'Send Bug Report…' from the Help menu.)

I tried Emacs shell mode in the past. That does not work because it
sets env variables. I would prefer to use Emacs if it did work.

Ever sent a "bug report"? Or to emacs-devel list.
BTW, compile-mode is really nice! You can start your "compile command"
with nice or env THIS=some/setting <compile command, i.e., configure
or make>.

I like to make sure it is not user error first.
