   2                 Notes on enabling maintainer mode
   3
   4 Note that if you configure with --enable-maintainer-mode, you will need
   5 special versions of automake, autoconf, libtool and gettext. You will
   6 find the sources for these in the respective upstream directories:
   7
   8   https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf
   9   https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake
  10   https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool
  11   https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext
  12
  13 The required versions of the tools for this tree are:
  14
  15   autoconf 2.69
  16   automake 1.15.1
  17   libtool 2.2.6
  18   gettext 0.16.1
  19
  20 Note - "make distclean" does not work with maintainer mode enabled.
  21 The Makefiles in the some of the po/ subdirectories depend upon the
  22 Makefiles in their parent directories, and distclean will delete the
  23 Makefiles in the parent directories before running the Makefiles in
  24 the child directories.  There is no easy way around this (short of
  25 changing the automake macros) as these dependencies need to exist in
  26 order to correctly build the NLS files.

  28 When running the testsuites a minimum version of dejagnu is also needed.
  29 Dejagnu can be found here:

  33 The minimum version required is:
  34
  35   dejagnu 1.5.3
