Re: Error from automake.sg

[Paul Eggert]

I'm missing some context since I haven't gotten all the emails,
but I suggest trying it with a fresh checkout.  Something like
this, in a fresh directory:

   $ bzr branch bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk
   Branched 104546 revision(s).
   $ cd trunk
   $ ./autogen.sh
   Checking whether you have the necessary tools...
   (Read INSTALL.BZR for more details on building Emacs)

   Checking for autoconf (need at least version 2.65)...
   ok
   Checking for automake (need at least version 1.11)...
   ok
   Your system has the required tools, running autoreconf...
   configure.in:645: installing `./compile'
   configure.in:377: installing `./config.guess'
   configure.in:377: installing `./config.sub'
   configure.in:28: installing `./install-sh'
   configure.in:28: installing `./missing'
   lib/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
   You can now run `./configure'.
   $ ./configure
   [ ... lots of output here ... ]
   $ make
   [ ... lots more output ... ]

If this doesn't work, then there's some incompatibility with
your installation's autotools, which we can look into.  If it
does work, it suggests that there's something messed up with
your copy of the Emacs trunk, which we can also look into.
