Note on auto* versions

Wed Mar 23 22:45:00 GMT 2005

Folks --
Today I noticed that libjava/aclocal.m4 was built with automake 1.9.5.
This is incorrect -- at the moment the entire tree has standardized on
1.9.3, and we shouldn't use different versions unilaterally. Having
all the subdirectories use a single version took a lot of work and is
an important property to preserve for maintainers' sanity. For future
reference, the version to use is documented in gcc/doc/install.texi.
I know it is a pain to do this, since it is more convenient on Linux
to use /usr/bin/auto*. Nevertheless, please just install the correct
versions of these programs and use them for your libgcj-related work.
I just built them from source and installed them all into the same,
new --prefix.
Thanks,
Tom
