Hello,

Just for information, I have a problem with Automake 1.5 for a while:

 During the 'Automake' command, the following errors appear:
/dev/env/DJDIR/share/automake/am/depend2.am: AMDEP does not appear in
AM_CONDITIONAL

The Makefiles that get created are missing certian configurations (like
OBJEXT)
and are unreadable by 'Make'. 'Make' then returns an error saying that it
is 'missing separator' at a certian line. At this line we find the
uninterpreted:
@AMDEP_TRUE@@am__include@ @am__quote@$(DEPDIR)/a_alab_ps DOT Plo AT am__quote@
Which was not understood, and hence passed unprocessed into Makefile.in by
Automake.

Using 'configure-make' I build the GNU Plotutils libraries without so much
as a warning.
When using Automake first, compiling is later almost impossible.

I have DJGPP 2.0.4, GCC 3.0.4, and Perl Version 5.6.1.

Ben
