Subject: RFA: fix gdbint.info autoconf version
Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 01:17:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e394668d0711261716g28a2c2aeue829054403d761e4@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

gdbint.texinfo says to use the old autoconf on sourceware, but gdb/configure
is now regenerated with autoconf 2.59.

gdbint.texinfo:
Check the @code{autoconf} version carefully.  You want to be using the
version taken from the @file{binutils} snapshot directory, which can be
found at @uref{ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/binutils/}. It is very
unlikely that a system installed version of @code{autoconf} (e.g.,
@file{/usr/bin/autoconf}) is correct.

ChangeLog-2005:
2005-01-07  Andrew Cagney  <cagney@gnu.org>

        * configure.ac: Rename configure.in, require autoconf 2.59.
        * configure: Re-generate.


How about this?
