Comment 1 Akira TAGOH 2016-02-05 08:47:34 UTC

Hm, okay. tracked this down. it happens when Makefile.am has:
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = \
 ...

if it is one liner, works fine. I think it worked before. dunno what version it is. at least on f22.

Comment 2 Pavel Raiskup 2016-02-05 09:58:40 UTC

Thanks for the report, reproduced.  It probably did not work correctly before
either (the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS did not parse '-I' option correctly).  Previously
libtoolize just did not complain.  So as a workaround, please specify only
one-line ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS.

Comment 3 Pavel Raiskup 2016-02-05 12:30:35 UTC

As there is AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR[S] in autoconf, the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS should be
less needed in future.  It is still needed nowadays, but it is not much useful
to hack on it right now.  So please let me close this as WONTFIX with
workaround discussed before -- kee ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS on single line.  It is
already documented in auto(re)conf's manual [1]:

      If you want autoreconf to pass flags that are not listed here on to
      aclocal, set ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in your Makefile.am. Due to a limitation in
      the Autoconf implementation these flags currently must be set on a
      single line in Makefile.am, without any backslash-newlines.
