Description Ed Catmur 2007-11-12 00:47:05 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #496011 +++

After modifying configure.ac and autoconf:

...
config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands

The following modules will be built:

atk
pango
pangocairo
gtk with 2.12 API
gtk.glade
gtk.unixprint

cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/dev-python/pygtk-2.12.0/work/pygtk-2.12.0/missing --run aclocal-1.8  -I m4 -I .
aclocal-1.8: `configure.ac' and `configure.in' both present.
aclocal-1.8: proceeding with `configure.ac'.
aclocal: couldn't open directory `m4': No such file or directory
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1

pygobject has the same issue.

Thanks for the bug report. I don't have time to solve this at the moment.

But it should be easy, it can be solved by adding an entry for each .m4 file to EXTRA_DIST in the toplevel Makefile.am and running make dist afterwards to verify that they actually get included. 

Can you try to do that and submit a patch?
