Few days ago, I noticed that DOSBox can't be compiled with the automake-1.14 or above.
A warning about possible foward-incompatilbity occurs while perfoming the autogen.sh.
The warning message can be referred from http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-07/0040.html
I used the GCC and the result was the same both on Linux and OS X.
However, it can be normally compiled with the automake 1.13.2.
Hmm, isn't this just a warning?
As I learnt with nuvie the subdir objects configure.ac thing messes up distclean or so...
Having the same problems as ykhwong on Debian.
It fails to compile resulting in a wall of errors and it doesn't seem to detect automake is present: make log
$ apt-cache policy automakeautomake:Installed: 1:1.14.1-3Candidate: 1:1.14.1-3Version table:*** 1:1.14.1-3 0500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ testing/main i386 Packages100 /var/lib/dpkg/status1:1.11.6-1 0500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ wheezy/main i386 Packages
I guess I'll have to roll back to the wheezy package.
EDIT: rolled back and, the warning is gone but the errors are still there. *sigh*
The important part is the whole thing with autogen.sh and configure
And first run make distclean
Still the same thing, I ever cleared the folder's contents to make sure nothing escaped me and did it from scratch.
./configure seems to have been successful.
Actually I see nothing in your log that seems to point at a problem with automake. It's probably all other things that got a higher version. Try with Dosbox SVN
Yup, that seems the case, I'll start a new if I have any further issues. SVN seems to compile fine so far (still having some missing Mesa OpenGL dev package that I need to get apparently)
Could you tell me what I can do in 0.74's case? I think I might actually need 0.74.
Why do you need 0.74, another case of "this only works with old version" which almost always is not true?
To compile 0.74 you either need to backport the fixes or roll back your packages for gcc and everything else

Er, it's because the SVN versions typically run slow on my older machine, no need to be so antagonistic.
Suggest anything that might make the SVN builds speedier.

Which "fixes" are we talking about?
