But while these definitions are + honoured in the Automake's build systems and test suite, they + were *not* honoured in the generated `automake' and `aclocal' + scripts. This behaviour, apart from being wrong in that it does + not allow the user enough freedom in choosing his tools, also + caused inconsistencies in the test suite, brining to spurious + failures. + Problem reported by Graham Reitz on the automake list; see thread: + + * automake.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOCONF', not simply `autoconf'. + * aclocal.in ($traces): Use `@am_AUTOM4TE', not simply `autom4te'. + * Makefile.am (do_subst): Substitute also `@am_AUTOCONF' and + `@am_AUTOM4TE'. + * NEWS: Update. + * THANKS: Update. + +2011-05-29 Stefano Lattarini + + build: the user can override AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE too + Our build system allows the user to override AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER + at configure time, and honours these overrides in our testsuite. + But it didn't do the same with AUTOM4TE, AUTORECONF and AUTOUPDATE. + This change fixes that inconsistency. + * configure.ac (am_AUTOM4TE, am_AUTOUPDATE, am_AUTORECONF): New + AC_SUBSTitutions.
