Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Changed required automake to 1.6 and autoconf to 2.53

["Olivier Biot" <ethereal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I just successfully compiled with automake 1.7.9, autoconf 2.59 and
libtool 1.5.

BTW the .PHONY target correctly runs make-version.pl, but I've seen it
running at least twice (once at the very beginning, and once at the
very end of the build). As a matter of fact, it runs once at the very
beginning of the make, then once for every binary requiring
cvsversion.h, and finally at the very end of the build. As a result,
even without any changes to the source files, make rebuilds
tethereal.exe (but not ethereal.exe), but then the last run of
make-version.pl is not run.

Regards,

Olivier

PS a build with cygwin now runs for ages (even on my P4 @ 2.6GHz) with
the new autotools.

I've changed the configure.in and autogen.sh files to require said
versions.
It may be, that a newer version of autoconf is required. In case
someone
can test with 2.53 please let me know.
