[LTP] What is the Story of "make autotools"

[LTP] What is the Story of "make autotools"

[CAI Qian]

Hi,

Looks like it stops working recently with,

  autoconf-2.63-2.fc11.noarch
  automake-1.11-2.fc11.noarch

$ make autotools
make: *** No rule to make target `m4/Makefile.am', needed by
      `m4/Makefile.in'.  Stop.

that file is in cvs.  if you have an incomplete checkout, there's nothing we 
can do about it.
