Description zhao jian 2011-06-03 06:59:33 UTC 
We updated Xserver recently to 1.10.99.901 (1.11 RC1) which requires xorg-macros 1.14, and after upgrade macros to 1.14.0, there will be a build error that make xserver failed to build. The error info is as following: 

configure:13553: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LANG_DEFINES_PROVIDED
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

The culprit commit in xorg macro that lead to the xserver fail to build is e03a5cb9f313c6f5de3edc46327eb18b300b92c2.

    Add AC_LANG_DEFINES_PROVIDED to XORG_RAW_CPP to silence autoconf warnings
Comment 1 Alan Coopersmith 2011-06-03 08:51:59 UTC 
Yes, we've been discussing on xorg-devel the best way to fix this for
users using autoconf older than the 2.67 release which added it.
Comment 3 Gaetan Nadon 2011-06-05 05:57:26 UTC 
Fixed in util/macros commit 45c7d622657d295b2c02a46061765827ea37f00f

    XORG_PROG_RAWCPP: use AC_LANG_SOURCE to prevent warnings
    
    The source for the AC_LANG_CONFTEST should be passed to AC_LANG_SOURCE
    to satisfy the more stringent testing done by autoconf 2.68.
    It is available in autoconf 2.60 where AC_LANG_DEFINES_PROVIDED is not.

Available from git master
