When running autogen.sh on mesa git with an Ubuntu 10.10 I get the following warnings: autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal configure.ac:15: warning: AC_INIT: not a literal: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mesa autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing configure.ac:15: warning: AC_INIT: not a literal: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mesa autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf configure.ac:15: warning: AC_INIT: not a literal: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mesa autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Autoheader autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Automake autoreconf: Leaving directory `.' checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu ...
That's a bug in autoconf that was fixed in autoconf 2.68: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autotools-announce/2010-09/msg00000.html ** AC_INIT again allows URLs with '?' for its BUG-REPORT argument. Regression introduced in 2.66. More details at: http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?107450 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autoconf/+bug/641611
