Description Daniel Macks 2013-06-03 00:48:50 UTC 
Using glib-2.36.2 on OS X 10.6 and patching only program files (*.[ch]) and generated build-tool files (configure not configure.ac, Makefile.in not Makefile.am, *.html not *.xml), build fails because I do not have the same automake that was used to roll the dist tarball:

Making all in glib
make[4]: Entering directory `/sw64/build.build/glib2-shlibs-2.36.2-1/glib-2.36.2/docs/reference/glib'
 cd ../../.. && /bin/sh /sw64/build.build/glib2-shlibs-2.36.2-1/glib-2.36.2/missing automake-1.13 --gnu docs/reference/glib/Makefile
/sw64/build.build/glib2-shlibs-2.36.2-1/glib-2.36.2/missing: line 81: automake-1.13: command not found
WARNING: 'automake-1.13' is missing on your system.
         You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
         'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
         The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
         It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
         <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
         <http://www.perl.org/>
make[4]: *** [Makefile.in] Error 127

I didn't do any of those things, so why is it a fatal error not to have am1.13?

I tried glib-2.36.1 using the identical patching, and at that same point in the build process I get:

Making all in glib

It's the same type of diagnostic message (in both cases I have automake-1.11 installed), but here it's only a warning, and the build progresses beyond it. Did the 'missing' script become more strict? Is there some bogus timestamp on a template file in the new glib release? Or...?
