When autoreconf is called to generate all the supposedly autogenerated files the build breaks. First, an incompatibility with newer autoheader versions is encountered autoheader: warning: missing template: DEFAULT_MTA autoheader: Use AC_DEFINE([DEFAULT_MTA], [], [Description]) autoheader: warning: missing template: MAXLINE autoheader: warning: missing template: UMASK autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoheader failed with exit status: 1 Then as far as I understand conf.h.in is supposedly generated from all the AC_DEFINE*/AC_CHECK* macros in configure.ac. But it obviously isn't, there are a lot of static #define statements in there that are not defined anywhere else. Fix this by putting all those static settings into static.h, then include that in conf.h.in with AH_TOP([#include "static.h"])

Note that I beat autotools into submission by trial and error. I have no idea what I'm doing. |
