### Code:
## Tools we need:
+## Note that we respect the values of AUTOCONF etc, like autoreconf does.
progs="autoconf automake"
## Minimum versions we need:
## Also note that we do not handle micro versions.
get_version ()
{
- $1 --version 2>&1 | sed -n '1 s/.* \([1-9][0-9\.]*\).*/\1/p'
+ ## Remove eg "./autogen.sh: line 50: autoconf: command not found".
+ $1 --version 2>&1 | sed -e '/not found/d' -n -e '1 s/.* \([1-9][0-9\.]*\).*/\1/p'
}
## $1 = version string, eg "2.59"
## Return 3 for unexpected error (eg failed to parse version).
check_version ()
{
- have_version=`get_version $1`
+ ## Respect eg $AUTOMAKE if it is set, like autoreconf does.
+ uprog=`echo $1 | sed 'y/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/'`

[ x"$have_version" = x ] && return 1
If you know that the required versions are in your PATH, but this
script has made an error, then you can simply run
-autoreconf -I m4
+autoreconf -i -I m4
instead of this script.
## Let autoreconf figure out what, if anything, needs doing.
-autoreconf -I m4 || exit $?
+autoreconf -i -I m4 || exit $?
echo "You can now run \`./configure'."
