1 2 Notes on enabling maintainer mode 3 4Note that if you configure with --enable-maintainer-mode, you will need 5special versions of automake, autoconf, libtool and gettext. You will 6find the sources for these in the respective upstream directories: 7 8 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf 9 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake 10 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool 11 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext 12 13The required versions of the tools for this tree are: 14 15 autoconf 2.69 16 automake 1.15.1 17 libtool 2.2.6 18 gettext 0.16.1 19 20Note - "make distclean" does not work with maintainer mode enabled. 21The Makefiles in the some of the po/ subdirectories depend upon the 22Makefiles in their parent directories, and distclean will delete the 23Makefiles in the parent directories before running the Makefiles in 24the child directories. There is no easy way around this (short of 25changing the automake macros) as these dependencies need to exist in 26order to correctly build the NLS files. 27 28When running the testsuites a minimum version of dejagnu is also needed. 29Dejagnu can be found here: 30 31 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/dejagnu/ 32 33The minimum version required is: 34 35 dejagnu 1.5.3 36
