[gmx-developers] Problem with Gromacs 3.3.1 and automake 1.10

[wolfram at picb.ac.cn]

Hello everybody,

I was modifying some Makefiles in Gromacs and encountered a
little problem when using Gromacs 3.3.1 together with autoconf 1.10+
(it complains that AM_PROG_AS is missing).
In order to get things running one needs to include
AM_PROG_AS
at the end of the first block in the configure.ac script. I think
it would be nice to include this in the official 3.3.1 release.

Also it complains about
Makefile.am:20: use `install-data-hook' or `install-exec-hook', not
`install-hook'
what can be fixed by changing install-hook to install-exec-hook.

Best regards,
Wolfram


The configure.ac script then should look like:

/######################################################################
# Process this file wth autoconf to produce a configure script.
