Haven't built HEAD on Linux for a while but when I tried today buildconf didn't like my autoconf: sb@wopr-mobile php-5.1 % ./buildconf using default Zend directory buildconf: checking installation... buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok) buildconf: libtool version 1.5.10 (ok) rebuilding aclocal.m4 rebuilding configure FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script rebuilding acconfig.h rebuilding main/php_config.h.in FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script This is on a Gentoo Linux (~x86) box that has, as part of the standard toolchain, both autoconf 2.13 and 2.59 installed which are wrapped by autoconf-wrapper.

It finds autoconf 2.13 because buildcheck.sh explicitly calls autoconf-2.13 (instead of just autoconf).
> FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required
And then it uses autoconf 2.59 because it calls autoconf.

Sounds like a problem in your wrapper scripts then... Derick

buildcheck.sh calls "autoconf-2.13". This does not involve the wrapper script. Later "autoconf" is called. This one is handled by the wrapper which defaults to autoconf 2.5x. It might be a problem with the wrapper after all, since WANT_AUTOCONF=2.1 ./buildconf fails as well. (The WANT_AUTOCONF variable specifies the autoconf version to be used.) Then again, it used to work fine until recently.

Reverting build/build2.mk to revision 1.30 seems to fix the issue. The checks introduced in revision 1.31 seem to find both /usr/bin/autoconf (wrapper, defaults to 2.5x) and /usr/bin/autoconf-2.13 (no wrapper) and get confused by this.

Doesn't libtool 1.5.10 require autoconf >= 2.50 ? That's atleast what I experienced. Downgrading to 1.4.3 made it work again with autoconf 2.13. Magnus

We only support/use libtool 1.4.3, so.. --Jani

The detection code for multiple autoconf versions is still wrong, IMHO.
