<span style>Hello ladies and gents,</span><div style><br></div><div style>I propose one of the two following patches for <a href="http://configure.ac/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">configure.ac</a> and/or Makefile.am to deal with issues in automake 1.12:</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Both patches add the AM_PROG_AR pragma which automake 1.12 seems to require.</div><div style><br></div><div style>The first patch just adds a -Wno-portability flag to AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE to prevent "warning: ':='-style assignments are not portable" errors. The latter actually just patches the uses of := in Makefile.am, addressing the warnings presented. Not wanting to make stylistic choices, I provide both patches here.</div>
<div style><br>Best,</div><div style><br></div><div style>Lance</div><br>>>==============================<br><br>Tony Hoare on software architecture:<br><br>"There are two ways of constructing a software design:<br>
One way is to make it so simple<br>that there are obviously no deficiencies,<br>and the other way is to make it so complicated<br>that there are no obvious deficiencies.<br>The first method is far more difficult."<br>
