GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 127746
autogen.sh ask for an unsupported version of automake
Last modified: 2006-12-01 13:58:42 UTC
autogen.sh in the libart_lgpl try to run "automake-1.4 --version" and if it fails it ask the user to download ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake-1.3.tar.gz And the clueless user that I am downloaded it.
That bug still exists. The URL doesn't point to the correct automake version on the gnu ftp server.
The latest patch in bug 131478 fixes this by switching to gnome-autogen and automake 1.9. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 131478 ***
