Description of Problem: Calling "autoreconf -i" produces the warning | autoreconf: --add-missing: command not found under some circumstances. This is caused because of a missing definition of `automake' somewhere in /usr/bin/autoreconf. Additionally, `autoreconf' produces lots of warnings regarding obsolete options. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autoconf-2.52-3 How Reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. cat <<EOF >configure.ac AC_INIT(foo, 0, X) AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(foo, 0) AC_CONFIG_FILES(Makefile) AC_OUTPUT EOF 2. touch Makefile.am 3. autoreconf -i Actual Results: /usr/bin/autoreconf: --add-missing: command not found autoconf: warning: -A is obsolete, use --include autoconf: warning: -l is obsolete, use --include autoconf: warning: -A is obsolete, use --include autoconf: warning: -l is obsolete, use --include Expected Results: no warnings/errors
Seems this was a bug in 2.52d. I can't reproduce it in 2.52f, which is in autoconf-2.52-5.
