Created attachment 220839 [details] [review] Use-autoreconf-instead-gnome-autogen Lets use the upstream tool instead copy and paste ;)
It actually causes problems having gnome-autogen.sh in the source tree BusyBox shell (this may be a bug) will always . (source) from the current directory if the file exists there, even if a version in the PATH exists, so the bundled gnome-autogen.sh is used and it's very out of date, so for example the build will fail if automake <= 1.9 is not installed. When bash is in POSIX mode, . (source) will only look for gnome-autogen.sh in the PATH, not in the current directory, so in most cases the file has no way of being used. In short, please merge this patch, I have tested myself and it works great :)
