Description Michiel Roeleveld 2003-09-25 05:45:07 UTC
I have installed 
- autoconf 2.57
- glade-2 (2.00-r1)

I created a project in glade-2. When I wanted to compile, I did as in the
tutorial "./autogen.sh". The script complained:
FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.53 or higher is required for this script
When I checked the script the version check goes:
(autoconf --version) < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1
which says version 2.13, due to autowrapper of autoconf it doesn't say version 2.57.

I solved my problem by renaming 2.13 to 2.57 in the autowrapper of autoconf. But
this is really a hack.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a program in glade-2
2. save and build it
3. run ./autogen.sh

Actual Results:  
FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.53 or higher is required for this script

Expected Results:  
continue

this is not a glade bug, you should just pick the right autoconf yourself
if the wrapper script doesn't detect it correctly. You can influence this
by using ENV vars named in the wrapper script.
