I don't want that behavior. I just want to add a feature, not to forbid a user to rebuild the files.Your consideration doesn't make sense. If your package requires a minimum version of automake, then your package can't be rebuilt without a sufficient version of automake, therefore the user must be stopped running his automake.The desired behavior TOTALLY makes sense (although this is an automake question, not an autoconf question)
sorry for that. Actually, i wondered to which list i had to send the question.
- an example is the use of color-tests when available, with a clean fallback to no color-tests if an older automake was sufficient for everything else. See this thread on the automake list for the same question, and the answer given by the maintainer: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2009-08/msg00035.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2009-08/msg00040.html
so: m4_ifdef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])]) seems the thing to do. Thank you Vincent Torri
