Wow, a lot has happened on this project - kudos to everyone involved!
I've been reading flameeyes' Autotools Mythbuster, and noticed the
archive had a TODO to link to it, which I think is a great idea. I
figured this would be an easy way to get back up to date on the
project. But I encountered a few bumps.
First, my automake (1.10.2) doesn't support dist-xz. This was
relatively easy to fix - I just removed that token from configure.ac.
Presumably that's in 1.11?
Second, and more confusingly, once I'd successfully run ./configure, a
make immediately failed:
Making all in doc
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/dustin/code/autoconf-archive/t/autoconf-archive/doc'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `all-macros.texi', needed by
`autoconf-archive.info'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/dustin/code/autoconf-archive/t/autoconf-archive/doc'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
Sure enough, doc/Makefile doesn't have a rule for that file. I see
such a rule in cfg.mk, but that seems to be applied at the toplevel,
rather than in the subdirectory. I see there's some trickery to add
rules to GNUMakefile, but I'm using GNU make (Gentoo Linux), and 'make
-f GNUMakefile' seems to fare no better.
Am I missing something? If I can get this solved, I'll be happy to
update README-maint.
