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 FAIL: test_runner_select /bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_kqueue: No such file or directory FAIL: test_runner_kqueue /bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_evport: No such file or directory FAIL: test_runner_evport /bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_devpoll: No such file or directory FAIL: test_runner_devpoll /bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_poll: No such file or directory FAIL: test_runner_poll /bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_win32: No such file or directory FAIL: test_runner_win32 /bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_timerfd: No such file or directory FAIL: test_runner_timerfd /bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_changelist: No such file or directory FAIL: test_runner_changelist /bin/sh: line 9: ./test_runner_timerfd_changelist: No such file or directory FAIL: test_runner_timerfd_changelist 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.
