[gtkmm] automake 1.4 and gtkmm 2.4 module

[Ole Laursen <olau hardworking dk>]

Hi,

I do a fresh "cvs co gtkmm", then "cd gtkmm" followed by
"./autogen.sh":

  ole:~/cvs/gtkmm$ ./autogen.sh
  Found GNU make at /usr/bin/make... good.
  Adding libtools.
  Building macros.
  Building makefiles.
  automake: configure.in: installing `scripts/install-sh'
  automake: configure.in: installing `scripts/mkinstalldirs'
  automake: configure.in: installing `scripts/missing'
  automake: Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'
  atk/atkmm/Makefile.am:33: variable `win32_dlls_extra_libs' not defined
  gdk/gdkmm/Makefile.am:32: variable `win32_dlls_extra_libs' not defined
  gtk/gtkmm/Makefile.am:35: variable `win32_dlls_extra_libs' not defined
  pango/pangomm/Makefile.am:32: variable `win32_dlls_extra_libs' not defined
  ole:~/cvs/gtkmm$

Apparently, autoconf isn't run. I don't get a 'configure' script. I
guess autogen.sh terminates because of the warning/error from
automake. Running "autoconf" manually gives the configure script,
though. I suspect the version of automake might be the problem:

  ole:~/cvs/gtkmm$ automake --version
  automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6

In fact, uninstalling automake 1.4 from the system, thus forcing
"automake" to symlink to automake-1.7 seems to fix the problem. Is
this intentional?
