    (handle_dependencies): Set $require_file_found{'depcomp'}
    if the depcomp file exists, before calling require_config_file on
    `depcomp'.  This makes require_file_internal skip its buggy existence
    test that would make automake fail (with `required file `lib/depcomp'
    not found') when AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR is not set.
    
    This change change does not fix the existing bug where, if `depcomp'
    is not present in the build directory (at the top level), automake
    still gives the inaccurate diagnostic about *lib*/depcomp rather
    than ./depcomp.
    

  • README

  • This is Automake, a Makefile generator.  It was inspired by the 4.4BSD
    make and include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the
    GNU standards for Makefile variables and targets.
    
    Automake is a Perl script.  The input files are called Makefile.am.
    The output files are called Makefile.in; they are intended for use
    with Autoconf.  Automake requires certain things to be done in your
    configure.in.
    
    Variable assignment lines in Makefile.am pull in defaults from various
    little *.am files.
    
    To use Automake, replace your Makefile.in files with Makefile.am
    files.  Read the documentation to see what to do.
    
    This package also includes the "aclocal" program.  aclocal is a
    program to generate an `aclocal.m4' based on the contents of
    `configure.in'.  It is useful as an extensible, maintainable mechanism
    for augmenting autoconf.  It is intended that other package authors
    will write m4 macros which can be automatically used by aclocal.
    
    The mailing list automake@gnu.org is for discussion of
    Automake, Autoconf, and other configuration/portability tools (e.g.,
    libtool).  Write to automake-request@gnu.org if you want to
    join.
