Well make-3.80 mentions in NEWS: > Version 3.80 > [...] > * Updated to autoconf 2.54 and automake 1.7. Users should not be impacted. and furtheron: Makefile.am:AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = 1.7 dist-bzip2 check-news configure.in:AC_PREREQ(2.54) RedHat 8.0 comes with make-3.79.1, autoconf-2.53 and automake-1.6.3. > Even no make utility, there was a shell script to build the thing: > > $ ./configure > $ sh build.sh Didn't try that, as build.sh must be generated from build.sh.in and this needs autoconf again (Chicken and Egg?), so I thought better do it the hard way and update all three rpms.
