Automake

[Jonathan Hunt]

Hi,

I have the grub cvs sources as of September 19. The build fine when a just do 
configure. But I tried to modify the Makefile.am's and then run automake and 
it didn't work. I then tried reverting to the original Makefile.am's an 
running automake. This produced the same problems so it wasn't my changes to 
the Makefile.am. On my system I cannot make the Makefile.in's. If using 
unmodified sources I run automake I ge the following output:

aclocal.m4: 445: `AM_PROG_INSTALL' is obsolete; use `AC_PROG_INSTALL'

netboot/Makefile.am:148: bad macro name `3c507_o_CFLAGS'
netboot/Makefile.am:154: bad macro name `3c503_o_CFLAGS'

A configure works fine after this but when building I get linking errors. 
Since building works fine when using the Makefile.in's already in CVS it must 
be the automake step (I assume).
I assume that I am missing a step using automake or doing something wrong 
here. I'm not an expert at using automake etc. I am using automake 1.4.

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong - it's probably something 
obvious.

Thanks,
Jonny
