I'm not very experienced with automake and the such, but I know Gentoo has a
genius system (borrowed from MDK :) where /usr/bin/automake is actually a
perl script, which runs a certain version of automake depending on shell
variables
The perl script defaults to a certain version of automake, and you need to
check the noteedit docs to see which version it needs to build correctly.
Then all you have to do is set the correct shell variable.
--snip from /usr/bin/automake--
# - defaults to automake-1.4
# - runs automake-1.6 if it exists and...
# - envvar WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_6 is set to `1'
# -or-
# - `Makefile.in' was generated by automake-1.6 or superior, which
# specifically needs automake-1.6
# - runs automake-1.5 if it exists and...
# - envvar WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_5 is set to `1'
# -or-
# - configure.ac is present
# -or-
# - `configure.in' contains AC_PREREQ and the value's 3 first letters
# are stringwise greater than '2.1'
# -or-
# -`configure' is already present and was generated by autoconf greater than
# '2.1'
# -or-
# - `Makefile.in' was generated by automake-1.5 or superior, which
# specifically needs automake-1.5
--snip--
I also assume that autoconf and the rest of the family has similar systems.
Hope I could help,
Chris
