What versions of GNU buildtools are required to build PHP from CVS?

Hi, all. What version of autoconf, automake & libtool do I need to build current HEAD & PHP_4_3 ? I get this rather strange messages running ./buildconf in PHP_4_3 branch:
>buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok) >buildconf: automake version 1.4 (ok) >buildconf: libtool version 1.5 (ok) >rebuilding configure >FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script
"buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok)" & "Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required" - so what is ok then? I've been trying to play with almost all autoconf, automake and libtool versions in different combinations, but ./buildconf always says that AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is not known... Can anyone please explain what versions to use? Thanx in advance. --- WBR, Antony Dovgal aka tony2001 tony2001@phpclub.net

autoconf 2.13, automake 1.5 and libtool 1.4; I do not think libtool 1.5 works as it should be. Derick

Sounds like something definitely broken on your system then... or are you using third party extensions which use newer macros or something? Derick

may be =( I did just `./configure --prefix=usr; make; make install` in autoconf, automake & libtool sources.

no, I'm just trying to build current CVS version. snapshots are working, I've compiled a couple, but ./buildconf seems not to be working correctly =( --- WBR, Antony Dovgal aka tony2001 tony2001@phpclub.net

that should be --prefix=/usr (note the / ) Derick

Sorry, this was a typo - I've really used "--prefix=/usr" instead of "--prefix=usr". So, all binaries are in /usr at this moment. But I don't think this matters, 'cause buildconf still says "FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script". --- WBR, Antony Dovgal aka tony2001 tony2001@phpclub.net

Use snapshots: http://snaps.php.net/ Do not run "buildconf" unless you're 100% sure what you're doing.. --Jani On Mon, 23 Jun 2003, Antony Dovgal wrote:
