Subject: Problem building CVS Guile with automake 1.6.1
Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 11:03:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <uw5r8l2de74.fsf@lambda.math.uni-magdeburg.de> (raw)

Guile's `guile-aclocal.sh' script fails with automake 1.6.1.  Here is
the relevant part:

 |  # copy all installed aclocal files into $temp
 |  cp `aclocal --print-ac-dir`/*.m4 $temp
 |  
 |  # remove the .m4 files installed by Guile from $temp, so they don't
 |  # cause conflicts
 |  rm -f ${temp}/guile.m4 ${temp}/qthreads.m4
 |  
 |  aclocal --acdir=$temp -I .

As far as I understand it, this fails with automake 1.6.1 because the
"aclocal" library location is versioned with the automake API version.
On my system, the location is 

   /localapp/imosoft/sparcv9-sun-solaris2.7/share/aclocal-1.6

but 

 aclocal --print-ac-dir 
  ==> /localapp/imosoft/sparcv9-sun-solaris2.7/share/aclocal

which happens to point to an old (1.4) installation of the aclocal
library.

When aclocal is invoked with --acdir set to a copy of this library, 
automake fails with these messages:

configure.in:28: your implementation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE comes from an
configure.in:28: old Automake version.  You should recreate aclocal.m4
configure.in:28: with aclocal and run automake again.

Clearly something needs to be fixed.  Is it aclocal (to return the
versioned "aclocal" directory) or Guile?
