I am using the latest CVS version When I run make -f Makefile.cvs in kdelibs, I get the following results: This Makefile is only for the CVS repository This will be deleted before making the distribution *** Creating acinclude.m4 !!! If you get recursion errors from autoconf, it is advisable to set the environment variable M4 to something including "--nesting-limit=500" *** Creating list of subdirectories *** Creating configure.in *** Creating aclocal.m4 *** Creating configure configure.in:1731: error: m4_popdef: undefined macro: AC_Dest autoconf/status.m4:831: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from... configure.in:1731: the top level make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 I thought it was the problem with recursion mentioned, so I tried saying export M4="--nesting-limit=500" but then got the following: This Makefile is only for the CVS repository This will be deleted before making the distribution *** Creating acinclude.m4 !!! If you get recursion errors from autoconf, it is advisable to set the environment variable M4 to something including "--nesting-limit=500" *** Creating list of subdirectories *** Creating configure.in *** Creating aclocal.m4 *** Creating configure --nesting--limit=500: not found autom4te: need GNU m4 1.4 or later: --nesting--limit=500 make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 Presumably either it is not the recursion problem, or I have misunderstood how to set M4. The error is returned by autoconf. I am using autoconf 2.53a. Is it possible to do this, or do I need to downgrade to 2.1...? I seem to remember some problem with KDE and later autoconf versions. _______________________________________________ kde-cygwin mailing list kde-cygwin@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-cygwin
