Description Robert Scheck 2004-03-14 00:15:49 UTC

Description of problem, how reproducible & Steps to Reproduce:
I still get the error message "automake requires `AM_CONFIG_HEADER',
not `AC_CONFIG_HEADER'" at recompiling grub (more exactly is at
autoconf/automake) at some (older?) systems.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grub-0.94-3

Actual results:
Well, there's an easy solution to solve it:

Please apply that simple patch, thanks :)

This works here and changing it is likely to break different version
of auto*.  What versions of autoconf/automake do you have?

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2004-03-15 17:45:29 UTC

Oh sorry, I saw, my version of auto* are not the latest one.

But in "The GNU configure and build system" by Ian Lance Taylor, I 
noticed, that "If you are not using automake, use `AC_CONFIG_HEADER' 
rather than `AM_CONFIG_HEADER'". So we use automake, do we?

I also saw, that the newer versions of autoconf/automake are more 
loyal than the older ones, so AM should (only should) work.

Sorry again for my older auto* - it's your turn, I didn't test that
patch with the latest autoconf/automake, whether it really works.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2004-03-15 19:03:57 UTC

Yes, grub uses automake as well
