Another question/note regarding CVS compile process

Another question/note regarding CVS compile process

[Ivica Bukvic]

One more thing I noticed about my build process:

When I do ./build prep

I get the following response:

aclocal: ../alsa-lib/utils/alsa.m4: 15: duplicated macro 'AM_PATH_ALSA'

And then it seems to stop the ./build prep process since when I do the
same steps by hand and try to configure afterwards, I get the following
errors:

./configure: line 543: syntax error near unexpected token
'AM_CONDITIONAL(INSTALL_M4,'
./configure: line 543: 'AM_CONDITIONAL(INSTALL_M4, test "x$(ACLOCAL)" =
"xaclocal")'

This does not happen when I do a simple cvscompile in the alsa-driver
folder.

I do already have an entry in the /usr/share/aclocal/alsa.m4 which I do
not know whether it has anything to do with this but it seems when I
rename it it makes no difference.

But, what I just discovered this very moment is that when I remove the
alsa.m4 (or its renamed incarnation) from the /usr/share/aclocal, I do
not get these errors. Maybe this should be done automatically since
otherwise build script fails.

This is buggy behavior on the part of aclocal. aclocal comes with
automake, if I recall correctly; upgrade your automake and this error
will go away. Mine is 1.5, as I have automake 1.5. The 1.4 series might
still have this bug, I don't know.
