[gst-devel] error compiling gnonlin from git, maybe because of too new autotools

[Aapo Rantalainen]

Hi I'm trying to compile gnonlin from git. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and
this is what I have done:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gnonlin
cd gnonlin
./autogen.sh


+ check for build tools
  checking for autoconf >= 2.52 ... found 2.64, ok.
  checking for automake >= 1.7 ... found 1.11, ok.
  checking for autopoint >= 0.17 ... found 0.17, ok.
  checking for libtoolize >= 1.5.0 ... found 2.2.6, ok.
  checking for pkg-config >= 0.8.0 ... found 0.22, ok.
+ checking for autogen.sh options
  This autogen script will automatically run ./configure as:
  ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-gtk-doc
  To pass any additional options, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh
  command line.

Maybe I have too new version of autotools, but what I should do? Are
you planning to use newer tools?
