Re: Automake Issues?

Hello!

I had the very same problems some days ago...here is what I did:

(You really need gcc 2.95.3 I had the below problems with gcc 3.2 and 
3.1, additionally autoconf 2.52 and automake 1.5 worked not the newer 
versions)

aclocal
autoconf
automake --foreign --add-missing (this produces the depcomp and ignores 
the missing INSTALL ...)

(not sure, if you need to do the in another order or more than once)

./configure
./ltconfig ltmain.sh

make

....

It took me hours to get it to work, but never made it with gcc versions 
above the 2.95.3.... And I'm really kind of disencouraged, because I 
need to get it to work under gcc 3.2...

Hope that helped
Ralf
