Extace.

[Christopher Barry <cbarry 2xtreme net>]

Okay, I know more or less what the basic deal is with automake,
autoconf, aclocal, autoheader, etc. and I have all of these. Extace is
part of gnome-media, a subdirectory of it. The extace directory has
nothing other than a Makefile.am file. The gnome-media directory has an
autogen.sh, Makefile.am, and configure.in.

Running the autogen.sh does not change any files in extace, but seems to
create everything including the Makefile in gnome-utils. Running make
gives me this:

___________________________________________________________________
bash-2.01$ make

cd macros && make macros.dep

If I do make -k it will go for a little while but bails long before
touching extace. Manually running automake etc. in the extace directory
I can get to the point where the configure is made but when it's run it
complaigns about a syntax error.

Finally, if from the top level of gnome-media I do:

aclocal
autoheader
automake
autoconf
configure
make

aclocal gives this error:
aclocal: configure.in: 7: macro `AM_ACLOCAL_INCLUDE' not found in
library

autoheader gives no errors. automake spews this:

autoconf spews this:
_____________________________________________________________________
autoconf: Undefined macros:

___________________________________________________________________

configure gives this:
___________________________________________________________________

./configure: line 522: `AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)'

So the process bails from here. Any help really appreciated.
