Description Michal Suchanek 2007-01-06 10:26:25 UTC

I can no longer build the mga and ati drivers after the "Use the
XORG_RELEASE_VERSION autoconf macro." change.

The drivers now use PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR, MINOR, and PATCHLEVEL which are not
defined.

Trying to build on Ubuntu. It looks like I do have the required auto* packages.

ii  autoconf         2.60-1         automatic configure script builder
ii  automake1.4      1.4-p6-11      A tool for generating GNU Standards-complian
ii  automake1.7      1.7.9-9        A tool for generating GNU Standards-complian
ii  automake1.8      1.8.5-5        A tool for generating GNU Standards-complian
ii  automake1.9      1.9.6-4      (default version)

You need (xorgversion.m4 from) util/macros 1.1.5 or from git.

Comment 2 Michal Suchanek 2007-01-07 07:43:01 UTC

I wonder if this could be more obvious. 

The failure occurs after configure is run so there could be a check.

Or it could be mentioned in the auto* tool requirements on the wiki.
