[wdiff-bugs] Problems making wdiff after updating to 0.5g

[Denver Gingerich]

I've run into what appears to be an automake problem and I'm not
exactly sure how to fix it as I'm not too familiar with the whole
automake system.  I think the problem is that when I updated to
Francois' 0.5g code and updated the FSF address in some of the files,
automake's state got out of sync.  So I think I need to sync it
somehow but I have no idea how (or if that's even the correct thing to
do).

The problem is that make does not work the first time around (this is
after doing a ./configure without any apparent errors):

$ make
cd . && aclocal -I m4
m4/realloc.m4:13: warning: underquoted definition of jm_FUNC_REALLOC
m4/realloc.m4:13:   run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'
m4/realloc.m4:13:   or see
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Extending-aclocal
m4/gettext.m4:89: warning: macro `AM_LC_MESSAGES' not found in library
cd . && automake --gnits --include-deps Makefile
cd . && autoconf
configure:7695: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_LC_MESSAGES
     If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
     See the Autoconf documentation.
make: *** [configure] Error 1
$


If I run make again, it will build part of the files and then complain
that it can't find ./depcomp so I should run "automake --add-missing".
If I then run "automake --add-missing" and run make again, it
completes the build, but the "info" and "man" directories that should
appear in my --prefix directory (passed to ./configure) are not there,
although "bin" and "share" are created and seem to contain the
appropriate files.

I have checked in the code that does this to CVS (see
http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=wdiff for details).  If you have a
chance and think you might know what the problem is, please check it
out.

I have attached the diff between 0.5g and 0.5.4-pre1, which shows you
which files have changed that might have caused automake/aclocal to
start complaining.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
