Description Enrico Scholz 2002-01-11 00:35:31 UTC
Description of Problem:

The depout-mf.patch (introduced in 1.5-2) uses the statement

| dirpart=`AS_DIRNAME("$mf")`

I don't know exactly why, but this breaks some builds. Minimal example is

----
$ cat >configure.ac <'EOF'
AC_INIT(X,1,X)
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(X,1)
AM_OUTPUT_DEPENDENCY_COMMANDS
AC_OUTPUT()
EOF

$ autoreconf 
autoreconf: `aclocal.m4' is created
configure:1988: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_DIRNAME
autoreconf: autoconf failed with exit status: 1
 at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 356
----

Perhaps it's an autoconf issue, but because previous automake versions (without
this patch) worked fine, I am entering it here...


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

automake-1.5-2
autoconf-2.52-5

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2002-01-18 07:43:31 UTC
The patch was backed out in 1.5-4.
