Re: [Gimp-developer] pygtk automake problem

[Michael Henning <drawoc darkrefraction com>]

Line 204 of autogen.sh should look like this:
    1.8*) automake_progs="automake-1.8 automake-1.9 automake-1.10
automake-1.11" ;;
Add your version of automake to the end, like this:
    1.8*) automake_progs="automake-1.8 automake-1.9 automake-1.10
automake-1.11 automake-1.12" ;;

That should compile for you.

If you're not doing development, it might be better to grab the latest
tarball and just run configure on that, instead of running autogen.
Then your automake version won't matter.
