             Bug #: 2123
           Summary: Could RSB automatically install autoconf/automake if
                    the versions are too low?
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: RTEMS Source Builder
           Version: 4.10
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: Minimum Version Checks
        AssignedTo: chrisj at rtems.org
        ReportedBy: cynt6007 at vandals.uidaho.edu


Could RSB run an automake and autoconf check at the beginning of the process
when building 4.10.x/4.11, and automatically add building autoconf and/or
automake to the build set if the version is too low?

My assessment is this is only necessary for RTEMS versions 4.10.x and 4.11.0,
because earlier versions of RTEMS would not need to check for autotools, our
most obsolete supported host, Debian 5 (Lenny), has prepackaged autoconf-2.61
and automake-1.10, see: http://archive.debian.net/lenny/devel/
and newer versions of RTEMS may be shipping with the build-system software.

The versions for the Debian/Lenny distro are: automake-1.10 and autoconf-2.61
while rtems-4.10.x requires automake-1.11.1 and autoconf-2.68.
