Created attachment 2859 add automake 1.11 support Hey, xdt doesn't yet support automake 1.11, it'd be nice to add it. Attached patch should do it.
And shouldn't it be a a good idea to *start* by automake/aclocal (without version). It' usually the most recent available, so in case: automake (1.11) automake-1.8 are installed automake 1.11 will be used, which seems like a better idea. Currently, automake-1.8 would be used.
(In reply to comment #1) > And shouldn't it be a a good idea to *start* by automake/aclocal (without > version). It' usually the most recent available Maybe, maybe not. Automake doesn't guarantee compatibility between minor versions, so if automake-1.12 comes out and doesn't work with Xfce, we'd rather use something older (assuming 1.12 ends up getting installed as plain 'automake'). But yeah, 1.11 support should be added too (and 1.10 if it's not in there already).

Hmhm, yeah in case Xfce doesn't work with latest it might make sense to put the latest working version first. But in other cases, “automake” is the choice of the user. If he chose to not use the latest one, it might not be a good idea to override this.
Added support for automake 1.11 in 0a39fae, works here for quite some time.
