Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [configuration] This patch fixes a build problem for m4-native experienced on Ubuntu 9.10, where autoconf/automake (AC_CONFIG_LINKS) ends up making GNUmakefile a symlink to itself. The patch comments out ac_config_links directly in configure, as autoreconf is not actually run for m4-native. I believe it should be safe, as GNUmakefile is actually unpacked from source, and what we want is to is to not touch it. Tested on x86_64_linux (Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.10). 2009-11-10 Esben Haabendal Index: m4-1.4.18/configure =================================================================== --- m4-1.4.18.orig/configure +++ m4-1.4.18/configure @@ -24415,8 +24415,8 @@ $as_echo "#define GNULIB_TEST_GETTIMEOFD # only, it does not matter if we skip the link with older autoconf. # Automake 1.10.1 and earlier try to remove GNUmakefile in non-VPATH # builds, so use a shell variable to bypass this. - GNUmakefile=GNUmakefile - ac_config_links="$ac_config_links $GNUmakefile:$GNUmakefile" + # GNUmakefile=GNUmakefile + # ac_config_links="$ac_config_links $GNUmakefile:$GNUmakefile" :
