When applying patches to mutt, you may encounter strange error
|
|
messages spit out by programs like aclocal, autoconf, automake.
|
|
This will happen if your machine has a partial build environment
|
|
(see devel-notes.txt for a description of what's needed for mutt
|
|
development): Mutt has detected changes to some of the "meta source
|
|
files" like configure.in and tries to rebuild other files such as
|
|
aclocal.m4 or Makefile.in based on these changes; this will fail if
|
|
your build environment is not complete.
|
|
|
|
If you encounter this kind of problem, touching the following files
|
|
after applying patches may help:
|
|
|
|
Makefile.in
|
|
config.h.in
|
|
configure
|
|
aclocal.m4
|
|
|
|
After doing so, simply type "make"; the dependencies should take
|
|
care of the necessary other re-building (this may quite well include
|
|
a re-running of ./configure).
