Description
For extracted tarballs, it is apparently not possible to change configure.ac. In the attached example based on the configure.ac from dune-common 2.0, I added a line for an additional Makefile.
Executing make results in
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /temp/bernd/DUMUXSVN/dune-common-2.0/missing --run aclocal-1.11 -I . configure.ac:6: error: AC_INIT should be called with package and version arguments /usr/share/aclocal-1.11/init.m4:26: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is expanded from... configure.ac:6: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal-1.11: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1
dunecontrol runs an unmodified configure and also fails when calling make.
Is it simply not possible and/or not wanted to build a new configure from an extracted tarball?
Kind regards Bernd
