configure.in.in should use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS instead of AM_CONFIG_HEADER or otherwise the build will fail like: aclocal-1.13: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in' configure.in:17: error: 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER': this macro is obsolete. You should use the 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS' macro instead. /usr/share/aclocal-1.13/obsolete-err.m4:12: AM_CONFIG_HEADER is expanded from... configure.in:17: the top level autom4te-2.69: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal-1.13: error: echo failed with exit status: 1 it's a simple search and replace job... sed -i -e 's:AM_CONFIG_HEADER:AC_CONFIG_HEADERS:' configure*
Well, do you have a patch? My 1.11.6 automake doesn't know AC_CONFIG_HEADERS... Google found http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2009-08/msg00040.html , which basically says it is a mess to check for automake version prior to 1.12.

AC_CONFIG_HEADERS has been around at least since 1.9, see: /usr/bin/automake-1.11: elsif ($macro eq 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS') /usr/bin/automake-1.12: elsif ($macro eq 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS') /usr/bin/automake-1.13: elsif ($macro eq 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS') /usr/bin/automake-1.9: elsif ($macro eq 'AC_CONFIG_HEADERS') Do you really need a patch to replace one word?

No of course not. Hm. I do wonder why automake failed then on my Debian system. Seems like I'll have to try again.
Ok, it must've been a typo, now it works fine. Thanks Samuli! [master f04d2cb] Bugfix: Use AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
Ehm, commit id is 026edbbdac10d7c7d960f23b59af26f8f26184e5 after the rebase...
