Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:


 *   Failed running 'aclocal'!
 * Failed running 'aclocal'!

Haven't had time to look at why it's failing with it yet, but it's due to the new autoconf-archive-2024.10.16.

Well, seems to be due to [1] which implies the problem is likely in cava rather than autoconf-archive.

Or does it? cava doesn't seem to be doing anything too special there, then again I never really wrote autoconf stuff so I wouldn't know.

CC eli given the commit author, is this failure expected?

[Comment 8 Eli Schwartz 2024-10-20 02:13:36 UTC]

It is *not*. For ax_check_gl, it's supposed to be an internal selftest, even.

Submitted a proposed fix.
