GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 691545
Build with automake-1.13 broken
Last modified: 2013-01-15 09:34:28 UTC
Created attachment 233225 [details] [review] Fix Automake-1.13 removed long obsolete AM_PROG_CC_STDC completely ( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-12/msg00038.html ) and errors out upon seeing it. Attached patch simply removes AM_PROG_CC_STDC as earlier line already has AC_PROG_CC that does just the thing AM_PROG_CC_STDC did. ---- I'm mass-submitting automake-1.13 fixes. Please see what you can do so I don't need to do the same when automake-1.14 comes out: http://cazfi.livejournal.com/195108.html
Please commit to vte-0-34 branch. > I'm mass-submitting automake-1.13 fixes.

There's no reason I can see to remove it instead of just making it a nop.

Then your configure script depending on old functionality of the macro would misfunction silently, or more likely give cryptic error messages at later stage. With an error message from aclocal you at least know that you have to implement things with a new way.
This is already fixed on 0-34; the patch appears to be against the unmaintained version 0-28 branch.
Oh yes, sorry. Somehow I failed to check latest version properly. Patch is against 0.28 as that's what I need - OpenEmbedded still uses 0.28.
