Compiling Problems on Solaris (fwd)

[Dmitry DELTA Malykhanov]

Hi,

Here goes the question: do we really need all those tricks with aclocal
and automake in the Makefile? I guess the regular user, who just wants
to build tarball, doesn't need all that stuff, configure should be enough
for him.

And if we really need all those tricks, can we at least ask configure
script to verify automake version?

Thanks.

I'm not really sure. You might want to post your question to Guido on the
xfce-devel list. Guido did wonders with the configure script so that now
large-file support is enabled on 32 bit systems and rpm building is a breeze.
