Bug #13039: build warning on 2.4-rc1

• Status: Rejected
• Assignee: -
• Target version: -
• Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN

When calling autoreconf -f -i, the following warning is generated:

aclocal-1.15: warning: autoconf input should be named 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'

Renaming configure.in to configure.ac should do it and should be harmless.

• Status changed from Open to Rejected

Use autoconf, not autoreconf.

[swills (Steve Wills)]

Looks like the docs say to use configure.ac:

https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Writing-Autoconf-Input.html#Writing-Autoconf-Input

Or am I misunderstanding something?

Thanks!
