- Subject: RFA: fix gdbint.info autoconf version
gdbint.texinfo says to use the old autoconf on sourceware, but gdb/configure
is now regenerated with autoconf 2.59.
gdbint.texinfo:
Check the @code{autoconf} version carefully. You want to be using the
version taken from the @file{binutils} snapshot directory, which can be
found at @uref{ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils/}. It is very
unlikely that a system installed version of @code{autoconf} (e.g.,
@file{/usr/bin/autoconf}) is correct.
ChangeLog-2005:
2005-01-07 Andrew Cagney <cagney@gnu.org>
* configure.ac: Rename configure.in, require autoconf 2.59.
* configure: Re-generate.
How about this?
