When I try to `./autogen.sh --quick' CVS gettext, using git Autoconf, things fall over like this (several instances): | gnulib-m4/openmp.m4:29: error: m4_copy: won't overwrite defined macro: _AC_LANG_OPENMP(C++) | gnulib-m4/openmp.m4:29: the top level | autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 | aclocal: autom4te failed with exit status: 1 I'm not quite sure whether an Autoconf bug/incompatibility is involved here (therefore the Cc: to bug-autoconf). m4_copy wasn't documented in earlier Autoconf releases, but there may still have been problematic semantic changes, I don't know. Anyway, the following patch seems to fix it. OK to apply? Cheers, Ralf 2008-12-03 Ralf Wildenhues <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * m4/openmp.m4 (AC_OPENMP): Do not define with Autoconf 2.62 or newer.
