I have compiled Pilrc by hand. I got the same error: Makefile.am:5: INCLUDES must be set with `=' before using `+=' Makefile.am: required file `./depcomp' not found When I ran automake --add-missing it added 'depcomp' into the directory and pilrc then builds fine. Here are the exact commands I executed to build pilrc: tar -zxf /usr/share/downloads/src/pilrc_src.tgz cd pilrc-2.9/ ./src2unix.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr automake --add-missing make make install
I've tried to reproduce this bug, but couldn't. I believe it would be difficult to reproduce, since many of the programs in question were updated since this bug was logged. This bug has been inactive for more than 3 months. I'm resolving it as TEST-REQUEST. Please reopen this bug if the problem persists.
