Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2014 22:04:53 +0000 From: "Dilger, Andreas" <andreas.dilger@...el.com> To: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> CC: "linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org" <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Unable to build e2fsprogs 1.42.11 on RHEL 5 I'm unable to build the latest e2fsprogs on RHEL 5, since it returns an error running autoconf: autoconf aclocal.m4:3095: error: Autoconf version 2.60 or higher is required aclocal.m4:3095: the top level The "2.60" version is explicitly checked in aclocal.m4, and changing it to "2.59" (as is shipped with RHEL5) results in more errors: autoconf configure.in:903: warning: AC_PROG_MKDIR_P is m4_require'd but is not m4_defun'd configure.in:903: AC_PROG_MKDIR_P is required by... aclocal.m4:3292: AM_PO_SUBDIRS is expanded from... configure.in:903: AM_PO_SUBDIRS is required by... aclocal.m4:626: AM_GNU_GETTEXT is expanded from... configure.in:903: the top level [etc] It looks like this was added in commit 93613951 "aclocal.m4: update to newer versions of autoconf macros". Was there a particular reason for that change (there is no explanation given in the commit message)? I tried reverting that patch to build on RHEL5 again, and it also appears to work on RHEL6, but there may be issues with newer autoconf versions...
