Subject: Fix: re-enable compatibility with autoconf < 2.64
X-Git-Tag: v0.7.4~11
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org/?p=urcu.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=450b97095e27646fcd1e4b83c99477d7253b987b

Fix: re-enable compatibility with autoconf < 2.64

> I tried to build the latest urcu (git master e51500) on a Centos 6.2 box, and got:
>
> jscott@dxi0-62:~/src/userspace-rcu$ make -j4
> CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /users/jscott/src/userspace-rcu/config/missing --run aclocal-1.11 -I
> +config
> CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && /bin/sh /users/jscott/src/userspace-rcu/config/missing --run autoconf
>  cd . && /bin/sh /users/jscott/src/userspace-rcu/config/missing --run automake-1.11 --foreign
> configure:4010: error: possibly undefined macro: m4_ifnblank
>       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
>       See the Autoconf documentation.
> make: *** [configure] Error 1
> make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
>
> Some digging showed that the macro m4_ifnblank requires autoconf 2.64. Centos 6.2 has autoconf 2.63. :(
>
> I just worked around it by reverting commit a767fd locally, then I can build fine.
