Comment 1 Alberto Simões 2003-11-04 07:33:05 UTC

glib 2.x uses

# GLIB_AC_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP(STUFF)
# ---------------------------------
# Put STUFF early enough so that they are available for $ac_help expansion.
# Handle both classic (<= v2.13) and modern autoconf
AC_DEFUN([GLIB_AC_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP],
[ifdef([m4_divert_text], [m4_divert_text([NOTICE],[$1])],
       [ifdef([AC_DIVERT], [AC_DIVERT([NOTICE],[$1])],
              [AC_DIVERT_PUSH(AC_DIVERSION_NOTICE)dnl
$1
AC_DIVERT_POP()])])])

in acglib.m4.
Using this GLIB_AC_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP([ ... ]) instead of the AC_DIVERT_PUSH ..
AC_DIVERT_POP and latest autoconf/automake solves the DIVERT problem, but I have
another :D

AM_PROG_LIBTOOL gives me:

loading cache /dev/null within ltconfig
ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed
configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for glib-1.2.8

Comment 2 Tollef Fog Heen 2005-02-20 23:36:18 UTC

Fixed; pkgconfig now wants at least automake 1.7 and autoconf 2.5.  Patches for
glib also added.
