From: openmacnews@gmail.com (OpenMacNews) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, according to php52-cvs' "INSTALL": "autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4+ are required (newer versions of autoconf may work, but are not supported)" afaik, looking @ distrowatch, most distros haven't shipped for ages with automake 1.4. in my experience, even fewer devs use such old versions. fwiw, on my system (OSX), i've: autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.60 automake (GNU automake) 1.9.6 question(s): - -- why has this not been updated to more recent/shipped/released versions ? is there a legit reason? - -- what needs to happen to get this updated? who leads the charge? in particular, i'm getting arguments from php-related app developers that, e.g., since php "only supports automake 1.4" that they'll only support v1.4. problem is, their code breaks with newer versions of autoconf/automake. can someone please clarify this position/status and recommend any actions? thanks. richard - -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X against HTML email, vCards / \ & micro$oft attachments [GPG] OpenMacNews at gmail dot com fingerprint: 50C9 1C46 2F8F DE42 2EDB D460 95F7 DDBD 3671 08C6 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkUhX4AACgkQlffdvTZxCMYyFACfS0TElsxa56AQpIqQcmY7+PpO fuIAni7x44NmIdelWPpUg5jW1pVNTS+9 =g9u/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
