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
