Hash :3f09e923 Message :Change the minimum version of automake to 1.13 and autoconf to 2.67
When I run make check via automake with a version of 1.12.6 or lower, I got this error:
/bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_epoll: No such file or directory
FAIL: test_runner_epoll
/bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_select: No such file or directory

Open the Makefile generated by command ./autogen.sh && ./configure
I can see the errors are caused by this line:
if $(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT) $${dir}$$tst $(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT); then
$${dir}$$tst will expand to ./test_runner_epoll, but test_runner_epoll is only a target in test/include.am,
not a file, so it print:
/bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_epoll: No such file or directory.
It seems like a bug in automake 1.12.6.
The errors will disappear if I simply upgrade automake to 1.13, and upgrade autoconf to 2.65
(2.65 is the lowest version dependent by automake-1.13).
When I build with automake-1.13 and autoconf-2.66, I got another error:
configure.ac:667: error: AC_CHECK_SIZEOF: requires literal arguments
The code in configure.ac line 667 is :
AC_CHECK_SIZEOF(void *)
It is a bug in autoconf-2.66 :
http://gnu-autoconf.7623.n7.nabble.com/AC-CHECK-SIZEOF-int-is-error-in-autoconf-2-66-td13537.html
Finally, everything works fine when using automake-1.13 and autoconf-2.67.
