RE: Automake compile bug

[Love, Mr Gary]

Alexandre,

For your reference, I'm using these GNU versions:
make-3.79.1
tar-1.13
m4-1.4
autoconf-2.53
automake-1.6.3
perl-5.005_03

These have all been downloaded and compiled within the last week.

Gary

This line use a GNU Make feature, no wonder IRIX Make chokes on it.

Still that's not an Automake issue.  That line was copied
straight from expat/Makefile.am (this is expected).

Either you have to install GNU Make and use it to compile the
program, or you can try to convince the expat/Makefile.am author
to not use GNU extensions so the resulting Makefile is more portable.
