It's not a bug in automake if gnome's autogen.sh checks only for automake 1.9 and 1.10 and ignores everything newer. Try running autoreconf instead of ./autogen.sh, here's a cut&paste from automake's info file: Many packages come with a script called `bootstrap.sh' or `autogen.sh', that will just call `aclocal', `libtoolize', `gettextize' or `autopoint', `autoconf', `autoheader', and `automake' in the right order. Actually this is precisely what `autoreconf' can do for you. If your package has such a `bootstrap.sh' or `autogen.sh' script, consider using `autoreconf'. |
Description of problem: GNOME modules Yelp and gnome-doc-utils fail to build on Fedora 11 with the Development group installed, including automake-1.11-2.fc11 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):1.11 How reproducible: Do a git clone from GNOME for Yelp or gnome-doc-utils Steps to Reproduce: 1. git clone from GNOME for Yelp or gnome-doc-utils 2. run ./autogen.sh 3. autogen.sh fails Actual results: ./autogen.sh /usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh skipping ./test -- flagged as no auto-gen checking for autoconf >= 2.53... testing autoconf2.50... not found. testing autoconf... found 2.63 checking for automake >= 1.9... testing automake-1.10... not found. testing automake-1.9... not found. ***Error***: You must have automake >= 1.9 installed to build Yelp. Download the appropriate package for from your distribution or get the source tarball at http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/automake-1.9.tar.gz [pcutler@lucien yelp]$ automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.11 Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Expected results: Running ./autogen.sh should work as automake 1.11 is installed, and should create the make files in order to run make and make install Additional info: I need Yelp 2.27.2 and gnome-doc-utils 0.17.2 to write GNOME documentation in Mallard, and rawhide only has Yelp 2.27.1 available, which is why I needed to compile from source
