Description Samuli Suominen 2013-04-25 10:48:37 CEST 
This used to be a deprecation WARNING but since 1.13 it's now an fatal ERROR.

configure.ac:26: error: 'AM_CONFIG_HEADER': this macro is obsolete.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.ac:26: the top level
autom4te-2.69: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
aclocal-1.13: error: echo failed with exit status: 1

The solution is simple:

sed -i -e 's:AM_CONFIG_HEADER:AC_CONFIG_HEADERS:' configure.ac.in

As in, simply replacing AM_CONFIG_HEADER with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS (notice it's HEADERS, not HEADER) works and is backwards compatible.

Also, if you maintain more plugins, please do the same fix there too.

Fwiw i wasnt getting a warning/error with automake 1.14 / autoconf 2.65 on OpenBSD. Anyway, no regression, so fixed in ac70332
